Default Ice on the Mississippi - A Frigid February Photo

Although it's 50+ degrees and sunny here in the "Gateway to the South" city of Louisville, Kentucky today, I thought this photo of ice in the river at St. Louis would be of interest, as it was taken on a frigid February day in 1969. In view across the river from left to right toward the Eads Bridge are the Str. BECKY THATCHER, GOLDENROD SHOWBOAT and excursion steamer ADMIRAL. Think SPRING!
