Lake Ontario

Is on Fire! From my windows I can see tendrils of steam/vapour rising up from the lake. I guess there's a name for this phenomenon, but I don't know it.

[Mamyalynne]

Steam fog it is.

[stuey]

That's it, Mamy.

Sqad, have you ever been to Cleethorpes? ;)

[Mamyalynne]

It's quite eerie,both steam fog and Cleethorpes.

[Sqad]

humber.......too right i have. I cycled from Peterborough to Cleethorpes with the girl of the moment, as the sand dunes were "inviting" (and so was she).

This was 1954 and there was only a "bigwheel" on the beach.

Never mind.......we had a good time....;-)

Sqad, I was born in cleethorpes 1954,......Daddy !

[stuey]

[Sqad]

Your mother's name wasn't Gillian ...was it?

[Sqad]

cats....LOL.

[humbersloop]

that looks like an amazing thing to see stuey - does it happen every year?

the big wheel was only taken down a few weeks ago

[stuey]

HS, yes, when it gets really cold. It's minus 40 right now. I think that the water is actually "warmer" than the air above it thus resulting in the "steam".

[Slapshot]

Steam Devils...formed when a body of water is significantly warmer that the boundary layer air above it
