River iced over

The river had mostly iced over a few weeks ago.  Then a day or two of slightly above freezing temperatures and the river opened up a little bit again.  Then cold temps returned and the river immediately froze over again. We were predicted to get slightly above freezing again this weekend (back to normal high temperatures) but the prediction now has changed.  Warmer yes, but slightly below freezing for high temperatures.  And now more snow through Sunday.  The snow started last night and is more than predicted so far.  Yup, whenever I finish clearing the snow, it then starts right back up again.

Before last weeks cold wave, this area was open in the middle.  Now I can walk on it and no cracking of the ice.

Here you can see where it didn't freeze completely over.
