Saranac River ice breakup *FASCINATING*
Переглядів 274,867
6 років томуJanuary 22, 2018 , while sitting in my living room, I heard the strangest noise coming from the river. I look out and see this. All I can say is "wow" as I watch Mother Nature show her force. Please excuse the last part of the video, my phone froze up (must have been inspired by the river) and I couldn't shut it off. I thought perhaps I'd lose the video but alas I got it! Anyway, I may have used foul language. Whoops!

I was watching the ice flow down the Mississippi near Monticello MN today. It was a peaceful flow and so relaxing to watch. Lots of big chunks of wood and a huge trunk of a dead tree...was so cool to watch and hear the occasional crunch of the chunk grinding together.

High five on the good eye...Dad always said listen and watch or smell and nature (Planet) will show you amazing things but some of the best are only experienced by being aware. I am 63 now and still do. You video had all the things needed to help someone that's never seen a ice flow. Peace

Agree! I love it here. Fishing isn't the greatest in this location because it's so shallow but about a mile upstream is a great fishing hole. We also enjoy tubing on it in the summer and the kids play in it.

@salr362 3 роки тому
What a spectacular view. Are there fish in that river. If so, do you have a spare room? 😉
@amfulloffun76 3 роки тому
There are indeed fish in the river, different parts have different varieties. There are rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, landlocked salmon, and steelhead. There's not much directly behind the house though because it's quite shallow. Good fishing is nearby though. And yes, we have a spare room ;-)
@rogerdudra178 11 місяців тому
I got to see ice out on the upper Missouri River once. Amazing how big it is.
@jonesy12221 3 роки тому
Amazing. This obviously happens every year? Can you walk across when its at its most frozen?
@amfulloffun76 3 роки тому
One would think it happens every year but this is my 5th winter living on the river and that was the only year it froze so much. Right now (1/21/21) there is absolutely no ice. So it was a rare sight I guess. As far as walking across, no. Even with all that ice as in the video, it wasn't frozen on the farthest side. The water is slightly deeper over there and the current is swifter so it didn't freeze.

I think you mean otter because weasels do not go in the water.
@amfulloffun76 5 років тому
Thank you! I felt pretty sure it wasn't an otter so I did a little research and I'm confident it was a mink now. It was much too small to be an otter. I appreciate the education.
@potr6461 3 роки тому
doesn't this happen every year?
@amfulloffun76 3 роки тому
Ya, it does. This last spring the river was barely frozen so it wouldn't have been nearly as dramatic as this. In the 4 winters I've lived on the river this video is the only year I've actually seen this.

Ou you are a happy girl, if you are sitting in your living room and can see the river so direct...are you not afraid of big water? Flash flood of so?
@amfulloffun76 3 роки тому
No, we don't have to worry about flooding of our house. Because it's lower on the opposite side of the river it would flood the entire forest over there first. And we're about 50 feet up the hillside. I definitely love living right on the river!
@egonhaslebacher7082 5 років тому
can't stand it, when people jiggle around with the camera, i think there is a school some where to learn using a camera, any camera device.

When I would zoom in at all the camera would "jump" I think it's obvious my camera was giving me difficulty. Anyway, don't watch if you can't stand it. Others probably enjoy.

I'm sorry my video didn't meet your standards. I'm not a professional videographer. Myself and plenty of other internet viewers find these kinds of things fascinating. You know...it takes less time out of your day to simply scroll on and be nice. Have the day you deserve.

It was brown 😊
@deannelson9565 Рік тому
@@amfulloffun76 since you said it was diving in and out of the water I kind of figured that would be the answer so the correct answer to the animal identification is that's not a weasel that's a mink.

@deannelson9565 Рік тому
@@amfulloffun76 yeah during the winter weasels are pure white with a black tip on their tail they're also extremely small very skinny and are not overly affectionate to water. Whereas mink are almost exclusively found around water cuz they're basically semi-aquatic ....they're more or less just small otters with a really bad attitude and a sweet tooth for muskrats crayfish and pretty much anything else they can catch!
