Charles River encased in ice

Rick Macomber reports:

The crackle of breaking ice pierces the silence as this boat slowly pushes through the frozen Charles River last night

I don't see any boat.

Imagine if the photographer took the photo ...

The photographer is on dry (well, icy) land and he was taking a long exposure and that white blur at the bottom of the Boston side is the boat.

Surprising

I wonder why they were out on the boat on the river in such terrible weather for boating.

Construction on Mem Drive

There's a new stormwater outfall under construction along Mem Drive and they've been running a barge out there to float construction equipment and breaking ice to do so. Not sure how long that will last (and this photo looks like it was taken pre-storm, too).

Thanks

And here I was picturing a mini ice breaker dinner cruise on the Charles will a full Russian meal being served.
