Both upstream and down from the Middle Bridge, the river has open channels of free flowing water. The dam-like effect of the turn of the river here creates quieter water, more quickly frozen and slower to melt. Some water is now flowing over the ice, now discolored a tattletale grey. The shades of grey are multitudinous, as the detail below of the sight just downstream of the bridge shows.
To give an idea of the free-flowing Ottauquechee coming back to life, the picture below is a telescopic photo of the river just round the bend.
