Lakes freeze on cold still night; smooth as glass

There's plenty of excitement around the lakes in Alexandria today. The lakes froze on a cold clear still night and the result is a mirror smooth finish, perfect for skating while observing under-ice wonderlands. It only occasionally works out this way.
Yes, you have to wait a bit longer before lacing up the skates, but if everything holds, there's skating excitement ahead.
