DAMS AND ICE – JANUARY AT ITS END
It has been a warm January, the warmest since 1932 and the third warmest since the beginning of the 20th century. Today was the first day that was colder than average in a couple of weeks. Tomorrow? Who knows?
We had a dental appointment and that office is right next to the Mumford River dam, so on the way out of the office, I stopped for a few pictures. There was ice in the small canal, but the big waterfall was as full as I’ve ever seen it for this time of year.

This is a thinly iced small canal that ran from the Mumford River to Bernat Mills across the road. The mill burned down 9 years ago, but the remnants — chimney and front section — have been saved for the memories.
And so on a cold but not bitter day at the very end of January, here is the river and it runs to the Blackstone and then down to Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s at its most beautiful in the Autumn, but it’s not bad the rest of the time. This was the dullest time of year for pictures, but since it was the only season I’d never taken pictures there, and I was next door anyway …

Exactly the same, until it gets warmer? I really have no idea. No one knows what’s going on.
