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.
