CUTLINE ONLY: Last year at this time, some strange happenings on the Port Clinton shoreline lured an army of visitors to the Lake Erie shoreline, which had a cover of ice that was a few inches thick. Gale force north winds pushed around some huge chunks of frozen Lake Erie, creating spectacular mountains that the adventurous could climb. Noted Port Clinton photographer Kathy Jo Schweitzer captured a rather surprising, but colorful, image of a mermaid nestled on an amazing mound of ice. (Photo by Kathy Jo Schweitzer)
