TRANSFORMATION AND THE BREAKING OF THE ICE ON THE RIVER – FEBRUARY 2017
It took these last February when we had a sudden heat wave that brought mid-February temperatures in the 70s and 80s. We’d had a fair bit of snow by then. All the rivers were solidly iced. There were piles of snow everywhere.
Along came the heat. It took a few days, but the ice began to break. The snow-pack started to melt. We were walking around in short sleeves and I would have worn sandals, but the ground was the slushy, muddy mix you get as the snows of winter soak into the ground. A strange time to be out and shooting pictures.
The following week, temperatures returned to more normal levels, though not as cold as they had been before the heat of summer hit us in the middle of February. These pictures are all the breaking of the ice and the melting of the snow-pack.

They were odd photos because it was as warm as a summer’s day, but it was the middle of February — which is on of the two coldest months of the year. Very strange weather.

Love those mild winter days when the temperature goes up and the sun beats down.
