I bet this is a life experience! Would give my last farthing to have been there during this!

Take the poster's advice and watch it full screen, MAGNIFICENT! :)

It's even more fun when you're standing in the middle of a lake when the ice is making those noises under foot; you can feel and see the cracks forming.
The first couple times it happens you get properly freaked out, then it gets so you hardly notice it...

And then for a real rush, there's driving on ice...

Very cool indeed.
Be sure to take a video next time and post it treefrog. :cool:

I'll try to remember to revive this thread in January if I can keep the video camera warm long enough to get some footage...
the best noises happen at -40!

Very true, Al. Especially the hardwoods like the maple and ash...they sound quite literally like gunshots.
