Frozen River Partially Melts And Creates ‘Ice Jam’ As It Blocks Water From Flowing

Title Frozen River Partially Melts And Creates ‘Ice Jam’ As It Blocks Water From Flowing
Summary As a frozen river began to thaw, large slabs of ice broke apart and surged downstream, eventually piling up in a powerful jam that caused damage to nearby cars and homes. On March 7th in Meaford, Canada, James Peglar was on the banks of a river when he documented the immense size of an ‘ice jam’ that occurred due to the shift in weather. After temperatures rose, a frozen river began to melt and shift the ice downstream. However, the ice then began to get congested and stuck, causing a huge pile-up. James stated that emergency services were called to dig a large trench in order to get the water flowing once again.
