In bodies of water there is a thermoclime, where the temperature suddenly drops, in the winter, as ice develops this thermoclime reverses so that the poor fishies don't freeze. This is part of the reason for freezsing rain. I have put a link to your blog on mine. "The Kodiak Perspective". I am also a bicycle rider. If you like my blog, I would appreciate a link, thanks. I hope you will enjoy reading mine as I have yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1168837996187924862007-01-14T22:13:00.000-07:002007-01-14T22:13:00.000-07:00This is so interesting to me and yet so foreign - ...This is so interesting to me and yet so foreign - I have seen none of this that you are experiencing and if we DID have ice on the roads, we would not know what to do... period. In fact, the instructions would be:<BR/><BR/>Stay.off.the.road.<BR/><BR/>We just don't know how to handle that type of weather and conditions.<BR/><BR/>However, I believe by doubling your time on the road, you are probably expending a lot more calories than you think.
