Low Albedo?

In back of the building in which my office is located, in a normally shady spot, there is still a sheet of ice, which I have been attacking piecemeal with an ice chopper. In places, fallen leaves have reduced the albedo of the ice, producing leaf-shaped holes in the ice:




It's a shame that the 3-D effect is not so apparent in the pictures because the holes look really cool up close:




I should go nuts and grab a bunch of leaves to strew over this ice sheet, but the damn things are hard to come by this time of year.

There's plenty of leaves in West Virginia. Stop by, load up the car with all you want!

Sounds like a plan! There's still a patch of ice in an inconvenient spot, but tomorrow is supposed to hit 60, so it'll probably be gone by the time I arrive at work.
