Syracuse.com - What's with all that weird-looking foam lately at the northern end of Skaneateles Lake?

Is it natural? I'd like to hear from readers about this.

Last night my wife and I were walking our dog, Cali, in the village of Skaneateles and noticed all this white foam on the water in the outlet near the dam.

I snapped the above picture and then we walked out into the pier. We noticed it in the water all along the eastern side of the pier and there was evidence of it out in the lake as far as we could see.

Walking down to the water's edge, we both grabbed gobs of the stuff and it had this slippery, soapy consistency. As we walked by the docked Judge Ben Wiles, the lake's tour boat, you could see all these globs in the water against the shore.

I've never seen this before. What is it? Is it natural? What do others think?

I'll make a couple of phone calls on this today and get back with a report later in the day to share what I found out. It just seemed really odd to me.
