Water expands to freeze, and at Mackinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was super-cooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave. I've seen pictures of this wave phenomena in Antarctica, but in Michigan ? Yes, it's been quite a winter! </div>
