Picture taken following a warm wind storm at Resolute. 
The icicles on the building very graphically show the way the wind changes direction as a low-pressure center passes a location.

The little lake is somewhat north of the Resolute main transmitter site.  Temperature was about 48 degrees Fahrenheit.
