The river narrowed further as the ice inched toward the center, not solid yet. I noticed the stream undercutting the frozen ridge along the right bank. It appears that since the ice began forming, the Ottauquechee's level has dropped a few inches. With the rain gone and and the world hardening with cold, this makes sense. The watershed sheds less when frozen.
With the Fahrenheit reading expected to hit 12 below tonight, maybe the right and left bank ice will merge tonight. We'll see.
