Layered Ice

An ice jam on the East Branch Wesserunsett Stream in Athens, Maine in January 2014 left 3-5 ft ice walls on the riverbanks. On a January 21, 2014 site visit Nick Stasulis and Charlie Culbertson chisled away some of the ice wall so a discharge measurement could be made. The ice walls showed the multiple layers of river ice, snow and slush that froze in over the winter.
