I went across the Hudson today, it's frozen.. Not 100% frozen across, being a river that's hard to do..There's a few 'streams' in the river that move fairly fast, so it's not frozen there.. But it's frozen like I haven't see it in many, many years..
Also what you said about the roads is pretty funny.. Same here, the black asphalt roads are all white with salt. Completely white..
It's going to be a bad Spring for the roads.. The real cold weather has already started to break the asphalt up alittle, then when it gets warm the ice and snow melts and then leaks into the cracks in the roads, it gets cold again and the water turns to ice, expands, then makes the cracks and potholes bigger, then rinse and repeat until the road is nothing but potholes..
Can't wait..
