There are three ways to approach the single digit weather at Clark Lake: watch it from inside and enjoy the beauty; carefully dress for it with as many layers as you can find and venture outside; or sneak out of town, drive to Metro and fly somewhere warm to convince yourself that this, too, will pass and at some point warm weather will return.
This photo was taken looking west from along the Eagle Point shore, and is illustrative of option 1 above. Thanks to Sarah June Schuler for the photo.
