Still waiting.... last day of January

 

        Ice Sheet off Rhinecliff. Half way to the channel. Ship traffic moving north.     

  Latest ice checks promising, but thickness and surface conditions not     quite there yet;       See Ice Conditions  

!Access to the river at Rhinecliff is tricky and dangerous. Not recommended unless you have an experienced group and safety tools!
