Here are a couple of pics of a frozen stream near here.
In the summer this is just a trickle.

We had temperatures down to -30°C this year, which is very unusual for this area. But a week or so of -10°C is normally enough to freeze a stream like this, as long as there is not too much water flowing.

Right to the top Wifie.
Then she went down the steps and held the rope while hubby did it.
Bit pointless if you ask me. I mean, you can use the steps for going both up and down. I did. And I didn't even need a rope.:Razz

N"ice" pics, dellwak! :cool:

I'd heard it has been much colder in your neck of the woods - I mean forest - than usual. I hope you've been wearing your thermals!

Great to see you posting again, BTW! :) You have been missed on these forums.
