i really enjoyed your pictures of Ostend Dunes reserve. It reminded me
of the dunes near Castricum. I have many fond memories of time spent in the dunes. i rode my bike there almost daily. We didn't have any Ice
storms while we were there but we had frozen ponds and canals everywhere. My first attempts at ice skating came on a frozen canal near the dunes. I borrowed a chair that a local kid was using for balance. It didn't help me much though.
