Forget frozen waves: 'Icebergs' wash ashore on Cape Cod

http://news.yahoo.com/icebergs-wash-up-on-cape-cod-photos-145152337.html

Forget frozen waves. The historic winter of 2015 — which has dumped 105.7 inches of snow in Boston, 2.2 inches shy of the snowiest ever — is leaving mini ”icebergs” on the shores of Cape Cod.

CBS Boston reports that several giant chunks of ice washed up on the Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet over the weekend. Dapixara, a local artist and photographer, shared photos of the unusual, massive ice formations.

According to WBZ-TV Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher, the spectacle is probably a “once-in-a-generation” event due to the extraordinary amount of ice on the Massachusetts Bay.

Last month, Jonathan Nimerfroh, a surfer and photographer, captured images of another once-in-a-generation kind of event: photos of waves on Nantucket turning to slush.

This brings it all back again.

Awesome sight, the beached chunks are like something from a sci-fi movie.

But then I look out my window here in Michigan and the snow is almost all melted. Bet that will not get mentioned.
