I hadn't been thinking in terms of only the stiller portions being able to acquire ice, but that seems quite likely. It would also make more plausible the removal of ice without enough violence to break up these formations.Scott Hanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208542776592894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180069184626464868.post-69945227610395322082010-02-26T15:01:57.405-05:002010-02-26T15:01:57.405-05:00My read is that the river is usually too warm to f...My read is that the river is usually too warm to freeze. However, in a very cold spell, the stiller, cooler eddies just downstream of the trees in the river were cold enough to freeze, then collected snow on the ice. The warm river washed away any other remaining ice, leaving these discs of snow-covered ice bound to the trees in the river.Cranberry Necklacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082095005752863304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180069184626464868.post-34809826170820344472010-02-26T12:48:08.491-05:002010-02-26T12:48:08.491-05:00Wow, that's beautiful (and strange-looking). ...Wow, that's beautiful (and strange-looking).
