As of 5:30 p.m. the river is still ice-free – although word is that there is a jam located between Sleetmute and Red Devil; so more ice is on the way. The water level has dropped about three feet since this morning.
It’s been cold and windy all day, with the wind coming from the west. The sun is finally showing itself!
This is what the river has looked like all day - but it won't last once the jam upriver breaks
