Iced

Back on 24 October I posted a picture here of ice clumps floating down the Chena River seen from the edge of my property. At the time I noted it wouldn't be too long before the river froze over.

Well, Marri , in the comments, asked that I post one when the river was iced all the way across. So! Marri, my friend here it is! As you can see there's an open lead of un-iced water against the far back but it won't be long before that's covered as well.

OK the ice is still a bit thin to drive across but it will soon be much much thicker.

By the Way, The route of the Yukon Quest, the 1000 (1600 KM) mile dog sled race from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, passes along the river right here. On the 1'st of February there will be at least 18 dog teams mushing along the river ice past the spot were I took this picture.
