The Lake is always amazing. I am in awe. And yes conditions in City Bay for Great Ice 2023 are a bit sketchy. The ice that was forming is now again changing and skating may be in trouble but the fireworks celebration on the 17th will happen… Check the Great Ice 2023 website for more details.
Saturday will offer a variety of activities - including watching the lake and sky! But not to be missed is the Ingalls Camp snowshoe walk starting at noon, followed by The Quarry Project Film at GreenTARA, 4pm. If you simply want another cup of coffee or cocoa, that’s possible too, upstairs in Main Gallery.
This is a perplexing time, we depend on winter for so many things. Adjusting to fluidity in our expectations takes energy but the result can be joyous spontaneity — so much easier to say than feel. Instead of skating or skiing across that incredible expanse of frozen beauty to get to Knight Island, I will simply try to adjust and breathe in the depth of reflection that water can be in any state of itself. We are that.
