    On the way to my farm today I stopped and took a few pics of the ice on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers along with some Trumpeter Swans on the ice. Barge traffic is at a standstill. I did see a couple moving with 3 tug boats pushing them. Some of those ice piles are 15 or more feet tall.

    Then when I got to the farm I found these huge ice cicles coming out of my rock cliffs.

    Hello Jmbuckhunter.
    Oh! my god! I said this after seeing this picture of Hard water in Missouri. You took amazing photos of this and it is highly appreciated.

    Thanks for it.
