Castle Ford bridge encased in ice river
Posted By Jim on January 8, 2010
In case you’ve missed it, the South Fork of the New River has frozen over for more than two miles along Railroad Grade Road. Due to the cold and high water levels, the ice has piled up and pushed ice over the Castle Ford bridge at Todd Island Park. A photo taken by Todd’s own professional photog Lynn Townsend was featured at raysweather.com. WSOC-TV in Charlotte broadcast a short piece on the frozen river Thursday. You can view the video here.
If you go check it out, please don’t walk on the river and be careful getting close to the river’s edge. There is still a strong current under the ice which can pull you under to an icy and watery grave! Even on the banks, the water is dammed up and pushed the water out of its banks in places, so you can end up slogging in ice water if you’re not careful!
