When moving water grinds to a halt you know it's cold outside. Today's walk along the river produced a few photos. I hope you enjoy a walk up the Pemigewasset River from Woodstock to Lincoln New Hampshire.

Slabs of ice two feet thick, heavy enough to break fully grown trees, is some serious power.

 

this chunk was at my camp-site 50 feet from the water's edge, and about the size of a parking space.

Away from the big Ice Jams the river looks normal flowing and quiet.

   Mount Liberty center, and Lafayette is mostly obscured to the left and almost completely white with snow.

Another fresh snow fall tries to close the river up, and hide the water with the white. South Mountain Bridge.

One of our Custom homes

It can be a little dangerous to live along the river but all that do are willing to accept the risks for the rewards of listening to moving water...even when it also means the crash of breaking ice jams.

  These two Pictures were taken from the same spot 3 months apart...the Ladies Bath-tub swimming hole October and January. South Peak Home owners trails and Cross country ski paths lead you to this spot.

I've said it here before and I will say it again - Unbelievably spectacular part of the world you live in.  And that's saying a lot from someone who lives in paradise!

WOW, always amazing photos from you Steve.  How early in the year do you guys generally start to thaw and turn all green again?  I'm looking forward to dafodils as early as next month and by April 1st we generally are blooming everywhere.

Tammy the running Joke here in ski resort land is...we have ski season , Mud season , bug season, then off season. Not entirely true but there will be pockets of snow in the woods till early May. And if you are a die hard skier you can climb Tuckerman's ravine and ski till the Fourth of July (On the North side of Mount Washington)

I love photos like this -- natural snow-covered settings undisturbed by man. Great contrast between fall and winter. almost like color vs. black and white.

Steve...nothing like running water...even if it is nearly frozen stiff.  The power is unbelievable!

Barbara,  We have built this plan on slab or with a full walk-out it's a really nice design for a view site, every thing faces the preferred direction.

Steve... Are all those pictures of ice due to the rain from earlier this week?  They still are spectacular shots.

Steve - I appreciate your comment about it being worth the risk to live along the river.  I tell people the same thing in Florida about living on the Gulf!

Val, Yes the heavy rain pushed all the ice up..was gone in two days then it became a deep freeze.

Wendy,I have to pay flood insurance at my house, but it's what you do to be on the water.

Jane,the cold comes with the landscape , got to love it or leave it.
