With those open spots around the docks, that ice hardly looks thick enough to support vehicles and all those people.

I cannot imagine all that - ice breaks so easily at my house!
Definitely need thickness. I suppose about 6” or more preferably. Chuck
I was thinking the same, however, his weather has been similar to ours and most of our ponds and lakes are 12-20" thick for ice. So wonder if they have heaters on those docks to limit ice push.
Ok, very rare but not unheard of here! Last time the river froze was in 1940. Supposedly 6" thick near shore and 3" thick in the middle. The "city" would be to the left. About as big of a Winter Carnival we will ever get!

It’s the only FAA approved ice runway in the lower 48, it‘s a sea plane base year round. To open the airstrip the ice is required to be twelve inches thick minimum to support the 10,000 lb plow vehicles that maintain the runway and support areas. Most of the planes only weigh in around 3000 lbs. The open areas around the town docks are intentional, bubblers keep the water from freezing and run 24/7 to protect the pier structures.

Texas Mt. Laurel’s are blooming. These guys are a treat with beautiful purple blooms with the added benefit of smelling like grape popsicles. great turning wood
I need to get me some of that!
Spring has sprung.
Hallelujah!
Yeah, and we are getting a blizzard Sunday into Monday with lows of 7° Monday night.....
Ha, we're supposed to be in 70's most all of next week. We can't afford the snow melt like that.
Already sprung in Europe. The dogwoods have been flowering for almost two weeks now. Will post pics later today.
Just getting in from a MVA...friend's daughter just wiped her new car on interstate guide rail. She is fine, that is what matters. Roads are ice, PennDot ETA was 2 hours. Their cinder shed is 3 miles away. State worker holiday, called Weekend.
Seen on an interstate in Tennessee last week as we drove back from Florida. Lousy picture, but i couldn't do any better while driving. If the zoom works, you may be able to see a bulldozer strapped to the front of the trailer. At least he was able to get a load for the trip home!!
Hilarious!
Yep, even the cribbing was adequate!!
My car show setup in progress.
I am from a small farming community just South of Roswell, NM. I was just a kid when that all happened...but boy have they milked it:)
oh yeh! - I can smell them now!
