No, it's ice. A salty slush has formed in the freezing conditions overnight. See [[[2789968]]] for more ice.

A closer view of the smouldering Grand Pier remains. The taller structure on the left is where the fire began. I remember looking at the BBC website around 7.30am seeing one of the towers on fire, but it didn't look too bad and I assumed it would be put out. Visiting the website 45 minutes later I did a double take - flames everywhere, plumes of smoke miles high. Seeing is believing, yet I still couldn't believe it when an hour later I was looking at the sight myself, by this time the pier had literally gone up in smoke. It was a very hot day but the scene gave me goose bumps. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7528165.stm
