January 3, 2014

Happy New Year everyone! 

It has been quiet over the holiday season, and I haven't ventured far from home with the cold weather, heavy snows, and winds.  But with January 3 being warmer, I decided I needed my McIntyre Creek fix, and hiked the area.  I was glad to find  that others hadn't been as whimpy as I was, and had beaten down the trails to make walking easy.

The Creek had flooded significantly over the bridge closest to the College, and on my recent hike, I see signs posted warning of the icy bridge.  The heavy snows have now covered the ice, and walking over it is no longer treacherous.
  There are many interesting ice formations from the ice breaking off after the water level receded, and more water and snow covered the broken ice.
