I find it difficult to believe that we suddenly have icebergs floating down the fraser river. I'm going to watch the news tonight just to see how dangerous this ice is and I bet the lazy ass union slobs just did this so they wouldn't have to go outside today.

Lol.
Here's the river just after the Port Man bridge so I guess those icebergs either thawed by then or were stolen by punks.

The first shows the nice beach that we have in North Surrey. Notice that there is little ice and none in the water.

The Columbia is not frozen here. Not even close

I work right on the Fraser and I have not seen that much ice in years. It is no 1933 when people drove across the river, but there was a lot of ice.

Where?
The logs and debris that the ferry faces every day are far more hazardous than whatever ice might be in that water.

This is the local news on it and that ice looks bad but I'd still like to see it myself. This begs the question of where all that ice goes before it hits the Port Mann Bridge.

I know cause I can see all the ice form the window were I work. I'm maybe a 100m from the River itself and about 3km from the Ferry. Maybe it is getting broken around the new bridge?

[Hyack]

You have to remember the Fraser is tidal,so the ice is moved up and down the river twice daily, also the mixing of the brackish water would tend to cause a lot of the ice to melt long before it gets to the Port Mann.

[Sapio]

Yeah true Hyack. There is also an increase in industry between the ferry and the bridge. More heat and movement.

You're from Surrey all the junkies heard there was ice on the river and ran down and started mainlining it...that's why there is none to be seen

[ridenrain]

It's a conspiracy.
