They say if you don't like the weather - wait 10 minutes... change is the only constant! Even if it is a few days old, it is a moment in time worth remembering! Enjoy!
In 24 years living here, I'd never seen it like this, just a few tiny trickles of open water weaving through the ice like little lifelines.
The swans and ducks are out there perched on the solid sheet, patiently scouting for those precious moving channels. We found an opening up north of the bridge, across the airport - see that video HERE.
It's quiet, magical, and honestly a little surreal. We've been locked in solid single digits for what feels like forever, and the 14-day forecast isn't promising any big thaw, 30° would feel like a tropical vacation right now!
Stay cozy out there, keep those pipes dripping, and give your critters (and yourselves) some extra love through this deep freeze. Winter's still got us in its grip… but wow, what a beautiful grip it is.
Sending warmth from our icy corner of the world. Take a look at the slough’s icy transformation! Watch it HERE!
