Madison River Gorges Again

Officials placed signs on the highway between Ennis and Jeffers to watch for water on the road.  The below zero temperatures caused the Madison river to gorge again.  The once open channel is solid ice. 

So far the highway is dry and temperatures are beginning to warm up slightly.  Right now it is seventeen degrees but it was twelve below zero when we first woke this morning.

The sunshine and lack of wind were a true blessing today.  Interesting how sunshine makes you feel warmer even if the temperatures are below freezing.
