White Rock Shoal has been ice and snow covered all winter. Today's photo looking north along Cedar Bluff yesterday shows a band of ice out beyond the shoal's edge. These wandering bands of ice move up and down the lake as the days warm. The shoal reaches out about three quarters of a mile; the ice bands visible in this photo are probably out two or three miles from shore.
Sometimes closer to shore, sometimes a thin white line out along the horizon, the ice bands will soon seem like winter leftovers as temperatures begin to warm and the great warm sun brings spring to the Great Lakes.
