Nice information. I was a student at Clemson in 1966, and lake Hartwell had s skin of ice all the way to the center of the lake. Dry Falls in Highlands had huge stalactites of ice and the chain link fence was frozen several feet thick. Kids were ice skating on the lake, which they did during occasionally cold winters, but the ice was several inches thick that year.
