I was in #Gimli a few days ago when the lake ice shifted, creating an “ice quake” so strong that the vibrations shook my house, opening up a ridge on the ice. Sure scared me! First time I’ve experienced that. Anyone else feel it? #LakeWinnipeg #IceQuake #Manitoba #LakeLife

@dalebarbour Welcome! I’m from #Winnipeg too. Also have a cottage on the shores of our inland ocean, #LakeWinnipeg, north of #Gimli. I’m curious about your area of study with beaches. What is your current focus? It’s been a wild ride this year with erosion and high water levels. And of course, there’s #algae and #zebramussel issues as well.

Brilliant blue sky is a fabulous backdrop to highlight the tenacity of this tree trying to hang on to a bank that has been decimated due to unusually high waters in #lakewinnipeg basin this past summer. #climatechange #manitoba

November 2 and I spent the afternoon on the beach. In Manitoba. Not sure if I should celebrate the awesome weather or feel worried that this is #climatechange #lakewinnipeg

Bonus of being on the western shore of the lake… watching the full moonrise. Beach bonfires never get old. #lakewinnipeg
