The photos and video clip are almost a week old but nevertheless seem like an excellent way to welcome in the winter. This ice sculpture is the Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse on Lake Erie. Happy Winter Solstice to everyone North of the equator. And we hope that our our friends in the Antipodes enjoy their summer.

I’m 25 miles (site distance) west of Cleveland, right on the lake, our lighthouse is ice-free and hardly any snow on the ground. Just shows you the difference in weather patterns being so close.
By the way, this Cleveland Lighthouse story has gone international, found it again yesterday on the UK news site The Telegraph:

Reminds me of visiting Niagara in January years ago, except that it wasn’t windy then… What was the weather like in Duluth at the time of this pic?
