Ice!

We awoke to a patina of ice on the water about one week ago. It was quite surprising since it had been relatively warm in the days prior (much like Seattle this time of year). Just one cold night (about -2 celcius) was enough to produce a thin layer of ice, although it quickly melted during the day.

But today marked the day the ice did not go away.  
Though the sun was quite hot, the ice melted naught.
It remains to be seen what will come of the sheen.
Will it come and go with the day, or has it decided to stay?
The answer, we reason, will tell of the season,
and whether the cold has taken it's hold.
