Thank you, I consider myself fortunate to live here

I'm sure you have other amazing things 😊 But, it is definitely a beautiful place to live in the Adirondacks

Thank you! It's upstate New York in the Adirondack park.

Thank you so much! It really is incredible

It was brown 😊

@@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 ah, thank you so much!!!

@@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!

@@deannelson9565 that's so kind of you to take the time to explain. I really appreciate it!

I'm a transplant to the North Country so I didn't go to school here back then. Yes, 5 years later and still cancer free ❤️ From one survivor to another, keep up the fight Warrior!

@@amfulloffun76 well you certainly transplanted to a beautiful area. I’m from Utica originally. Glad to hear you’re doing well. Take care new friend!

@@APizzaDriver you too 😊

Yes, small world! My kids go to school at Saranac Jr/Sr high. Thank you for reaching out! Hola!

Thank you so much! It is indeed beautiful!

Thank you Todd!

😂 And we just got a huge snowfall today! ❄️

Thank you 😊

🤣

I was an air force brat but at Eielson. I'm sure you have heard of it 😊 I moved up here as an adult and love life up here... although it's very cold. I can say that it's not the coldest I've dealt with though.

Sorry

Aww, thank you

Wow! Thank you!

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!

What a nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it.

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.

Very interesting. Thank you for replying.

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.

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 ;-)

Upstate NY, Saranac River.

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.

@@amfulloffun76 ahhhh ok now I understand - Australian here with no knowledge of frozen things

@@potr6461 no problem. Thank you for asking 👍
