River Broke Up Quietly
The ice started on its way the be
ginning of last week very quietly.
The break-up this year was very late
and while the ice was thicker than
it has been for years, the sun and
rain got to work on it, and softened
it so much that it crumbled and thus
made its way down the river. The
weather, too, played its part, cool
nights after warm days, with not too
much rain, permitted the surplus
water to get away under the ice,
Last Sunday the usual crowds lined
the bridge, but the usual spectacular
break-up was lacking. There were no
reports of damage from high water
anywhere along the route and the
local farmers as well as household
ers congratulated themselves on the
fact that this was one more flood
less year.
