In town this morning for our morning coffee and as we park near the river in the car park we thought we would have a look and see what the river is doing in that spot........ well other than tumbling over the weir on its way down to the sea.......nothing, no ice in that area at all, which is so different to upstream.
The ice formation is a mile or so up stream towards where we live. We keep looking to see how far the ice has travelled, we didn;t go along the river walk today but yesterday it was moving downstream ever so slightly. We can just imagine what will happen if and when the ice hits the weir! the damage it could do if it picks up speed down to the sea,I just hope small boats are well out of the way. We are to have below freezing tempertures tonight but not too far below. Hopefully the ice is moving slowly in parts and we don't have a sudden rush of ice slabs downstream!
Ann, the very thought of it - the ice cold running water, gushing over the weir - well, it makes me want to, to, gotta go ........!! Hugs, Sxx
