Big difference between the river freezing at Afton and it freezing at St. Louis.
Yes, it is called the Missouri River flow. Now when the Missouri River, which 25% trees and 50% mud freezes, that will be COLD to the third power.
So it should have been Alton instead of Afton. Thanks Erin for the "heads up".
Yep, that's cold. Moving water requires quite a cold snap to freeze over and even '25% trees and 50% mud' can freeze..witness
Lewis & Clark at Ft. Mandan recording 45 below! Seems it is a flooding problem on north flowing
streams like the Red River up by
Fargo. As a kid from N. Wisconsin,
I learned to never go out on river ice as the currents did weird things, even in intense cold...
