If you got a chance to see this winter’s ice jams up close, then you know that there was far more than just ice in that sinister swirling mass. I saw “trees of unusual size” (let’s see who gets THAT reference) being tossed about, pulled under, and resurfacing again. It was a spooky testament to the forces involved in those powerful ice flows (no, not floes).

There seems to be a little bit of that left over. There’s debris along the banks of the Heart River that was deposited by the ice jam, and I noticed this mess plastered against one of the pilings of the Highway 6 bridge. Looks like there’s some cleanup to be done!
