Day 14 of the 2015 season: Snowkite Crystal Lake - Freezing rain, 1/4 inch of ice on top of whatever was there before

 

Freezing rain on top of small amount of snow. Wind scoured bare ice spots with frozen ice spikes sticking through. Horrible conditions for snow kiting. Cut my time short due to these conditions.
At least I got to try out a new venue, the beach on the southern end of Crystal Lake. In the town of Beulah, MI.
