JDP this is the first big freeze we have seen sense our childhood.I remember the ICICLES outside, hanging at least 1 footlong from the roof of our house.The town river used to freeze in its flow,leaving the waves of water frozen. We would do like jesus did,walk on water,except that it was frozen.Cars used to drive out on to saleen lake.All the paths on Mc hale road were a sheet of ice and we would have sliding competitions.Those were the days my friend.
