  • Watch a lake in central BC freeze over the course of six days. This camera will remain in place for one full year, check back for updates.
    Technical Stuff:
    The camera is a Brinno TLC200 Pro HDR Time Lapse Video Camera (available on Amazon). The camera faces due south. Photos were taken at ten second intervals at a resolution of 720p and are compiled at 30 frames/second. The majority of the nighttime footage was removed and the footage was sped up an additional 350% in editing. Each second of video therefore represents 17.5 minutes of real time.

      You mean there is no snowing and freezing lakes? Winter is global.

      Winter occurs due to the tilt of the Earth, not due to its distance from the sun. Winter in the Northern Hemisphere occurs when the North Pole is tilted away from the sun; winter in the Southern Hemisphere occurs when the Southern pole is tilted away from the sun. Locations near the equator do not experience the extremes seen nearer the poles.

    Hello with my friend wer were wondering at the 6 day stamp, how deep is the ice? Is it just the surface or like 3 meters down, thanks, amazing fireworks!!

    • @LifesLaboratory

      Hi Wowo, thanks for the comment. I didn't measure the ice thickness, but it was still very thin and not able to support any weight (my foot easily went through at the shoreline). I would be surprised if the ice was more than a few centimetres thick at the end of this video. We have had a lot of snow this year. At its deepest we had nearly five feet accumulate, with a total of nearly 10 feet of snowfall for the season. The snow has finally started to melt, and I have the camera going to capture the thaw... stay tuned! Measuring the ice thickness is a great idea, I will try to incorporate some measurements into the next video if I can do so safely. Cheers, and thanks for watching!

      Yes. Thanks for your comment. The little bay to the right was sheltered from the sun and wind a bit more and started to freeze up first. November 2nd was a calmer day and the lake froze as soon as night fell. 2:18

      To expand on your comment, we had a very bright meteorite streak briefly across the sky not long after this footage was taken (we caught a quick glimpse through our living room window as we were watching TV in the dark, it actually lit up the room for a second). Our home is directly across the lake, and I was very hopeful I might have caught a single image on the camera. I searched frame by frame, but we missed it. The camera takes one photo every 10 seconds and it managed to sneak in between clicks. But we have gotten some decent pics of wildlife, and I have a few frames of local townsfolk curiously peeking into the lens.

      Haha! I bet those confused faces looking into the camera really gave a good tickle in your belly. And hey! Don't be discouraged that you missed the meteorites on the camera, because sometimes it's more precious to capture beautiful things like that in the lens of your eyes, to capture in the gallery of your memories. God bless you ☺️❤️

    Very cool
    I could be wrong but it seems like day turned to night then when the sun illuminated a new morning over a fresh frozen sheet of ice over the lake… I was hoping the footage you captured and uploaded would show the ice forming throughout the daylight hours. It makes sense that it would freeze during the night due to it being colder with the moon hanging in the sky

    • @LifesLaboratory
      @LifesLaboratory  Před rokem +1

      I cut out the majority of the night footage, because a black screen is not very interesting to watch. I kept it running longer for the night it froze because you could see the reflection in the moonlight. I too was hoping to see it freeze in the day time. It came close though, the lake began to freeze within an hour of the sun setting.
