The Hudson River is once again wide open and free of ice following the rain of last Friday. South Tivoli Bay is almost completely ice free as well -- only a small area of ice remains in the extreme south end of the Bay, and there is one small cake of ice stranded on the mud that came in with the last tide. I'm ready to call it quits for any prospect of sailing here in the Hudson Valley this season. The latest Coast Guard Air Auxiliary aerial photos show little of interest except for the lovely picture of the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse on slide (14). Slide (10) is incorrectly identified as the "Newburgh Bridge" when in reality it is the bridges at Poughkeepsie with a view north to Crum Elbow and beyond. It was in mid 50's today and will be so again tomorrow before dropping back slightly into the 40's for the late week period into the weekend. I see nothing in the forecast maps that leads me to believe the pattern will change in the next two weeks -- more mild temperatures and occasional bouts of light rain or rain showers seem to be what we can expect through February 15th.

Disclaimer HRIYC.ORG is neither the official website, nor am I the webmaster, of the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club. I am a long standing member of the Club -- during the sailing season, I frequently post photographs and information on this, my own personal website, about current iceboating activity in the Hudson Valley and beyond. I am the sole person responsible for the presentation of content and the opinions expressed herein. Interesting photographic contributions are welcome and appreciated -- I spend most of my time on the ice skippering and far too often fail to capture the best images the day has to offer. JAS |
