Fluvial Emergence?

Overnight low -8C, daytime high of 7C.

Frosty over night, the wood stove was cranking on overtime.  Clear skies, no wind, and cold most of the day, partly cloudy late afternoon and evening.

The picture below is deceiving.  There is only about two feet of open water before the ice - and that's due to human intervention.  Unfortunately, the surface is still 99.9% ice.
