Ice On The Water

[Jerry Rapp]

Went across Stout Creek around 1 pm, ice on the pool at 21 bridge in Ironton. Took the dogs for a walk at the golf course, the 3 ponds had a skim of ice. And winter is over a month away.

it sort of shocked me wrench. Especially considering Monday was in the upper 60s. I guess 4 days of temps not pushing much above 32 and lows in the teens get the shallows cooled down very quick.

I drove to Kansas City & back yesterday & today. half of the cattle ponds & small creeks were about to ice over totally. that surprised me a bit.

The stretch from Joplin to KC was my favorite area. Lots of geese & deer in those corn & soy bean fields. Its flatter than the Ozarks of SW Missouri.

I have a feeling its going to be brutal this winter. Hope I'm wrong

I remember one year back in the day when Clearwater froze solid enough that people were driving across it.

Yeah I do too Jerry.Remember John Earnie skinning some trees and towing them out on the ice. Ice is by far the most threatening thing to me here on LOZ When it. breaks up it will do untold damage to docks
