Roadside Falls - no "laughing" matter
Most winters, this stretch of West River Parkway near the West bank of campus has a small stream that eventually freezes over, and ice stretches for no more than four or five feet in width.
This year it's trying to imitate Minnehaha Falls and exemplifies the kind of winter we've been experiencing. I can bear to look at it more easily now that it's warming up. The road will probably flood, don't you think?

No doubt - is it still open?

Surprisingly enough it looked about the same tonight. The ice on the river, on the other hand (and the other side of the road), looked very different from the solid white mass it's been for some time. It has a mottled look, not exactly breaking up yet, but unevenly frozen, maybe even wet in spots.
