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.
