I found these fascinating stalactite and stalagmite ice formations around the Charlevoix Lighthouse in Charlevoix, Michigan. I loved the color of the ice and how it looked like an awesome ice version of the Mammoth Caves.
I had been waiting for a good cling to the tree snow fall for a long time. I finally got it! I loved driving around looking for scenes like this. I spent nearly 3 hours driving around and hiking the local parks. I would have spent longer but it started to snow too much.
Blue Ice piles up near the Mackinac Bridge in the Straits of Mackinac. Some ice was 24 inches thick and some piles were taller than 30 feet.
