Lake Winnebago, near Oshkosh and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin


"Ice out this year was dramatic - and fast - on the big lake, as rushing winds from the south-southwest began to chew away at the ice. Within just a few hours, ice began to pile up on shorelines and points with a southern exposure.
Northwest of Fond du Lac, damage to outbuildings was reported as the wind-driven ice began to pile up along shore. Once in motion, the ice could not be stopped.
