I always feel like a real Northerner this time of year, when the temperatures get colder and I see ice floes starting to form and begin to float down the Fraser. I noticed these floes a couple of days ago when we went over the bridge on our way to McBride. What really caught my eye were the wonderful hues of blues reflected from the clear sky that were coloring the river. I just had to pull over and take some photos.
Seeing the floes indicates that with continuing below freezing temperatures, it won’t be long before the Fraser River is completely frozen over and then covered with snow. Seeing a bit of color reflected in the flowing water is always a lot more interesting than seeing a frozen mass of white on the river for months and months, but what will be, will be.
