Current snow & ice pics

Would you believe, I had to post OLD sledding pics on Saturday because I didn't have any current ones? I have remedied that!

We had a minor flood a couple of weeks ago. Since there was still ice on the river when the water rose, unusually large chunks of ice broke up and were carried by the water. When the water receded, most of the ice sheets receded too, but a few were left behind on the riverbanks. They're HUGE!

"Icebergs" marooned on the river bank opposite us.


Looking upriver at some more ice sheets



You could slither completely under this ice sheet and down into the river, if you wanted to! Don't worry, my kids are NOT going to get wet feet...they wouldn't have been under there if I hadn't first deemed it to be safe. This ice sheet is the size of a small room...
probably at least 10' x 20'



This ice is over a foot thick!

Wow! I've never seen anything like that! I like how you can see the layers in that ice sheet. TFS!
