Well, actually I found out this was called ribbon ice. Came across one small section near the lake that had lots of it - at first I thought the wind had blown in some trash and it was wrapped around the stems. Had all kinds of formations.
@glimpseshttp://my.ilstu.edu/~jrcarter/ice/radio/ This is a link to sort of an explanation about how it forms. I had never seen it before. It's like super thin Styrofoam that continues to grow until the temperature warms.
very interesting, never knew this could actually happen
