Summary
Bob Tidmore documented the freezing of Beaver Island harbor from January 14 to January 28, 2007, in a short time-lapse assembled from photographs taken every 30 minutes. He also made copies available at the library for residents with slow internet connections.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves the description of the visual record, but the linked video is not held in this archive. This is not an ice-thickness measurement, a formal weather observation, or proof of complete harbor freeze conditions.
Sources
- An earlier time-lapse used photographs taken every five minutes on December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2007; the poster said the camera would continue hourly through spring. The linked video is not held locally, so this is preserved as a contemporaneous description of a community visual record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000814
- The author described a 41-second time-lapse made from still photographs taken every 30 minutes from January 14 through January 28 and said copies were left at the library for dial-up users. The linked YouTube video is not held locally, so this record preserves the contemporaneous description and referral rather than independently assessing the images.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000825
