Lake Ontario Steaming

Bitter -26 degree celsius air from the deep arctic produces steam clouds over Lake Ontario, Jan 23rd 2005. The water temperature was roughly 1 - 3 degrees Celsius but that was well above the saturation point of the frigid arctic air producing steam fog.

Awesome video. I've lived on the Lakeshore in Etobicoke my whole life, and I have fond memories of the Four Sisters from the 80's. I always knew how cold it was outside from looking at the smoke stacks. I was able to see them from my bedroom window on Ninth Street. This was before The Weather Network and cable. It broke my heart to see them go. Again, good video.

Glad you liked the video!

I only shot the 4 sisters by chance, at the time I don't think it was known the plant would be closing.

I miss seeing them when I am on or near the lake, it would have been nice to see them preserved even with the plant closed.

Lakeview Generating Station can also be seen operating in the background, this is some of the last video showing the station in operation and prior to its closure on April 30th and subsequent demolition.
