[QUOTE="hark, post: 244741, member: 13196"] The weather has been quite frigid lately with nighttime lows around 0°F. ::what:: That might not be as cold as some of our members from Canada experience, but for this area, it's colder than normal. The intensely low temperatures caused the Delaware River to freeze which created an ice jam. This is the Trenton Makes Bridge which connects New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This was taken on the north side of the bridge. The water on this side of the bridge seems to be more solidly frozen whereas the water on the southern side of the bridge is starting to melt. [IMG]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5473/11872460004_81ce228e4c_b.jpg[/IMG] And this is the New Jersey state Capitol building which overlooks the Delaware River--this is also on the north side of the bridge. [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3787/11873050935_73db56174f_b.jpg[/IMG] The photo below is taken from the southern side of the bridge, and from this side, you can tell the river is starting to melt. It's as if the bridge is the dividing line. The big shadow over the water is cast by the Route 1 toll bridge. In this immediate area, there are two bridges for vehicles plus a railroad bridge. And approximately 1/2 mile north is yet another bridge for vehicles. :eyetwitch: [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3706/11872863616_5f533e2891_b.jpg[/IMG] Here is the railroad bridge that also crosses the Delaware River in this same area. It too is on the southern side of the Trenton Makes Bridge so you can see some of the river's water close to the bank is flowing. I'm not sure why there is water frozen to the side of this bridge (on the left side of the photo). The water doesn't get THAT high but it must be coming from somewhere. :confused: [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3790/11872464944_da032a8b61_b.jpg[/IMG] And this was taken from a few miles further south of the Trenton Makes Bridge. Although you can't tell from the photo, the seagulls were on an ice block that was floating downstream! It was really odd to see them go floating by. And I could hear blocks of ice hitting one another--almost like [B]bumper cars[/B]! ;) [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7371/11873893416_ca75cb4c1a_b.jpg[/IMG] I didn't go any further north in this area, but the ice jam caused the river to crest which then flooded the road.
