It was very windy yesterday, and when it came time for going for our walk, we didn’t really think it would be very pleasant walking at any of our usual places because they are so open and subject to the wind, so instead we decided to try the trail that goes along the Holmes (Beaver) River. When we got there we were surprised at what we saw.
There had been a big ice jam and the river was full of big chunks of ice instead of the normal smooth ice, covered with snow. I don’t know when it happened, but it must have happened with some force, because among the ice chunks were uprooted trees and other debris that had been washed down with the ice. The level of the ice was actually higher than the road in some places and the trail we were going to walk on was covered with ice like it had been flooded. It must have been quite an event, but we had heard nothing about it.
