The Madison River Is Gorging!

Once again she puts on her winter finest…the Madison River gorges. As it has been told to me the river freezes from the bottom up. The Madison, according to stories is one of two rivers on the planet where this happens. As seen in the top image the ice is nearly touching bottom of the highway bridge that crosses the river in town. A normal distance between the river surface and the bottom of the bridge is approximately ten to twelve feet. This gives a perspective of the thickness of the ice flow which covers the river today. I say today because it can change so rapidly that later today there could easily be a different scenario between ice and bridge. Maybe you want to stay on guard!
