More winter commuting pics
So I'm thinking... I go around Lake Monona every day. Maybe I should go over it instead. Here's some pics (they're large)

The roads are getting narrower and narrower, so I was going to try this today. Unfortunately, I failed to realize that the same snow that is on the roads is on the ice too.
Also there was a fault line and ice "mountain range" leading right to the Monona Terrace. I wish I would have had a camera, because I thought it was quite impressive.

Wow, lotta Madison folks on here. I wonder if I see any of you day to day.
Yeah, there's too much snow to easily go over the lake now. The wind does get bad, but not much worse than it is going up John Nolen between the lake and the bay.
The fault line and ice mountain range have been growing. I got some pics of it the other day. I saw one that was really high. I was going to get out on the ice and take a pic of the sunrise through the ice, but I was a little late for work.
I didn't realize there were so many Madison folk here.
