Meanwhile, in Ohio...

An interesting phenomena that I have only seen once in fifty years, John. Lake Erie is such a shallow lake that strong wind effect can do this, particularly at the western end. I have several friends in Essex, an Ontario county on the northwest shore of Lake Erie.

....spooky!  😬 😬 😬 

All that water being pushed toward the East. 

"And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered."

Thanks John but after a few paragraphs they wanted me to subscribe to read further and I won't do that

“Subscribe to read this story” is all I get too.

Sounds like the story told in the movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes". “There used to be a lake right over there. Ducks would eat in it, children would swim in it, it was a great lake. One day these ducks were in the pond, and the temperature dropped so fast, that the lake just froze right up. The ducks didn’t die, they flew away and took that whole lake with them. To this day I hear that lake is somewhere over in Georgia.”
