Ontario Hydro's Lakeview Generating Station - Frost Smoke on Feb 3, 1970
Please ignore the airplane window reflection and scratches on the photo.
Lakeview Generating Station is the structure on the far right side.
Frost Smoke is an ice fog caused by extremely cold air flowing over a body of comparatively warm water. In this case, the water leaving the Generating Station is warm compared to both the cold ambient Lake Ontario water temperature and the cold air temperature in February.
Note that this picture was taken on Feb. 3, 1970 and the frost smoke is flowing along the shoreline. The following day on Feb. 4, the frost smoke was blowing away from shore into the lake as shown in this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/31155442@N03/15641375674/in/album-7...
Note that Lakeview Generating Station, located in Mississauga Ontario, was demolished as it was a coal fired plant and no longer exists.
