We got the same here on Long Island Sound. First 15 feet of shoreline in front of my house is an ice slurry. Ive been living here all my life never seen it this bad.
That photo was taken on the shore of Sandy Point State Park, the venue for todays Polar Bear Plunge.
The Plunge was cancelled today due to ice, 33 degree water, and winds blowing 27 knots (sustained).
The only thing keeping the Bay open right now is the commercial ship traffic.
