Ice floes on the Wabash River at Lafayette, January 2019

Ice floes on the Wabash River, January 30, 2019.  There had been two previous nights of temperatures reaching a low of about -15 degrees Fahrenheit, I thought that would have been enough to form an ice jam on the river but the ice was still riding the river.  It will jam up when it gets really cold but I guess the river having been at flood stage only a few days ago, still was high enough to keep the ice floating.  A fair pastime in Lafayette is to stand on the pedestrian bridge watching the ice floes smash into the bridge abutment.  If you look at the first photo you can see my shadow showing where I am standing.  This is the best place to stand watching the ice floes.  The short video was filmed from this spot.

Extreme water flow at Williamsport Falls

I went to Williamsport Falls hoping to see some ice formations due to about 2 or 3 days previously of about 10 degree F weather.  In the immediate 24 hours before I got there, there had been a warming trend and heavy rains.  Any ice formations that may have been there were melted away and I was surprised to see so much flow that a second waterfall had appeared alongside the regular one.  Never seen this before.  Photo taken January 23, 2019.

Here is a short video of the same scene:

Here is a view from the top of the falls.  During the normal low flow of this stream, potholes are visible in the sandstone bedrock here.
