River Ice Baby #WordlessWednesday

A few days ago, where I live in New York State, we had a couple of days of mild winter weather, followed by a rapid drop in temperature, followed by more melting and resulting ice jams.  

If you've ever seen an ice breakup on a river, or seen the immediate results, it can be awe-inspiring.  And a bit scary.

A local park, along a river, had large ice blocks thrown up from the river, and glaze ice that some people tried skating on. 

Here are some of the ice chunks.  Monday, it warmed up enough for some ice to melt, which permitted me to get close enough to take this picture.  The river is way in the background, just past where the trees are. 

I'll have more pictures taken at that park for you Friday.  When, incidentally, we will be having still another weather event.

    A fantastic place with that snow.
    And so strange with a background with no white at all!
    Thank you and Happy WW with a fine week ahead!

    We're equally befuddled in Connecticut. Sixties one day and teens the next. Even Mother Nature is confused. Great pictures.
