East Haddam Bridge/Connecticut River ice jam Friday Jan 19, 2018

Here's a brief video of the ice jam that's affecting some of the low lying areas along the Connecticut River. Notice that the ice is quite literally 'jammed' between the bridge supports, the shore and the docks at the marina there. There's a whole lot of force pushing against the upper edges of the ice sheet that is being held together by compressive force alone with such little disturbance in the water itself. The U.S. Coast Guard was busy somewhere else along the river, presumably downstream as to prevent accidental flash flooding and will eventually make it's way up to the neck of the river to break up the ice and relieve the river of it's overburden.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of the Goodspeed Opera House, the Connecticut River, Harper's Landing and historic Haddam Connecticut.
