High winds have blasted much of northern New York state, cutting power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses, closing schools and pushing mounds of ice on to the shores of Lake Erie. The ice was on the water's surface but was blown off the lake and on to the shore. | The Guardian

🐍 The Lake Erie water snake was once endangered—but thanks to conservation efforts, it made a remarkable comeback! 🎉 Native to the Lake Erie Islands, this non-venomous snake plays a vital role in the ecosystem by helping control invasive fish like the round goby. This one was seen at Kelleys Island State Park last week. If you see one basking on a rock or swimming near shore, give it space and a smile—it’s a sign of a healthy Lake Erie! 🌊 Ohio State Parks | Ohio Department of Natural Resource
