Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - From Snowy PAX River

Nice ice and snow photo opps on the Chesapeake, in St. Mary's County... ice forms pretty quickly 2 inches thick to about 5-10 yards offshore in low tide, gets pretty broken up and now melting in the morning sun and with wind picking up. Serious icing of marsh grasses, dock heads, pilings and exposed driftwood, mostly from wind-driven waves and tide in the snowstorm Monday.
