The main Ottauquechee channel swept open a swath of ice during the night, despite temperatures in the teens. Upriver at the Rt. 4 bridge around noon, the stream seemed nearly normal, ice only at the edges. By the evening, the channel was open all the way to the bend, with the exception of an ice pile-up near the wall along the right bank.
I like this series on the thaw. We are watching the surface change and shift, and all the while there is water flowing and flowing beneath.
