You didn't plant any potato there, did you? Just sod but the lake has never been higher.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

My shoreline has done the same thing several times when there is not much snow cover and there is extreme cold. The ice on the lake expands to the point where it pushes up the bank. Makes it hard to mow now since I have never done anything about fixing it for fear that it will just happen again anyway..
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I get them along our lake every spring. I'd say a frost heave too. If not and it is from the movie, Tremors. You'd better get out your big guns, rocket launchers, bazookas, 50 cal, etc.

You've read the story about Jack and the Beanstalk, right?

Yep. Frost heaving is one of the primary construction/engineering challenges in Alaska. A ridge like you've got is caused by a seam of soil that hold more water than the surrounding ground, so when it freezes it expands much more. Underground seeps, hydraulic soils and capillary action all come into play. When it thaws the sod will most likely stay humped up but the ice will disappear, leaving a void. Jump on it in the spring and you'll probably go right through . Here's another article about a road mitigation project if you're interested https://www.geosynthetica.com/frost-heave-dalton-highway-tencate/
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

Giant vole came through one night. Glad it didn’t eat your tree’s roots.

That’s my lawn down by the lake heaved up just not sure how that came about? It was flat a few days ago. That's a tad bit concerning....lol I'd Say!
