PHOTOS: Dudley Pond on Ice ... and a Coyote

News flash: It's cold.

And while there are all kinds of annoyances that come along with sub-freezing temps, there are some positives as well.

For instance, the beautiful ice circles on Dudley Pond only happen this time of year.

Resident Mike Lowery captured a few shots of the icy pond and submitted them to Patch. He also said he glimpsed a coyote trekking across the ice, and he hopes the creature will return soon for a better photo op.
