Not out of the woods yet
John McLachlan walked along the Charles yesterday, noted the puddling caused by warming temperatures, but also the unusual ice floes pushed up onto shore. The river today.
Brad Kelly, meanwhile, noted a possible sign of spring: Whiskey Priest poking its head up above one of the snow piles along the South Boston waterfront.
But you may have noticed the French Toast Alert is at blue. The National Weather Service says we could get socked by a winter storm Wendesday into Thursday, although we won't really have a good idea of the storm's track - such as whether it will hit us hard or at all - until Monday morning.

Icebreakers or tugs used as such
Were recently working in that area in order to to get the bridge construction vessels into place. Would probably account for the floes and the open water.
nah
That was far away form where the ice breakers for the barge were. could be just the river flow sending ice towards the shore... The ice breaker left a nice path in the river though (got a pic of that somewhere...)
That's what I was thinking
Just the river pushing the ice up onto the shore.
Or, it's not even a flow at all. The water level may have dropped. There may be a dam, but as I understand it, the release of water from the basin still fluctuates based on the tides. So much so, that if you look at a live water level chart for the Muddy River, you can see it goes up and down with the tides.

I wonder what the water temperature is below their roof deck?
I'll let you know after St Paddy's Day, brah!!!
Yeah Duuuude!!!
I'm disappointed
that this post hasn't elicited the anger and vitriol of the anti climate changers.
So in other words, if you don
So in other words, if you don't find anger and vitriol, you'll provide it.
I guess you're right
the World is flat.
