Chef do you remember back in 93 when the west passage was frozen solid all the way down to plum island lighthouse? When you drove over the bridge, you could see the seals that usually live on the rock pile off of Rome point hanging on the ice at the edge of the water

It could happen and this brings back some memories . I remember late 70s me (77 or 78 moved to Boston summer 78) and a friend almost died rowing ice blows (Ice bergs to us) in some of the waters we live on mid bay (creeks). We got out a little far and started flipping them.

Ahhh, the days without parental supervision.

We were able to ice skate on Bodkin creek a LOT. 'Cept we had to buy figure skates, couldn't get hockey skates in MD at the time .

Yep, think I remember at least 2 years that happened. Even a little south of the jamestown bridge if I remember right. One of the owners I worked for was telling me about back in the 70's. He was telling me about having a dinner date , way out in newport harbor on the ice!

Chesapeke Bill - where are you from? I spent 12 years off and on in Pasadena between the ass end of the Bodkin creek to Rivera Beach.
