Lake Ice Turns Into A Cool Noisefest.

A frozen Lake Champlain can offer lots of entertaining sounds
 as water freezes, ice slabs move, expand or crack

 As frigid weather took hold in Vermont in mid-January, much of Lake Champlain quickly froze over. 

Even after the lake froze in any given area, shifting slabs of ice, new ice forming, wind pressure and other factors turn the lake into a noisy place. 

On Sunday, Lake Champlain in St. Albans, Vermont was a cacophony of pops, thunks, creaks, groans and gawd knows what.  Video of this is below. 

Some of the noises in my video sound like I had the sniffles, but that wasn't me. That was the ice making that sniffly sound.
