When we get a good, serious cold snap, the Schuylkill freezes over where it passes by 30th Street Station, and ice on either side of the Delaware forms around the piers and creeps toward the shipping lanes. The sight on the Delaware is more impressive than on the Schuylkill because the river is wider between Philadelphia and Camden than the Schuylkill is between 24th and 30th Streets. We haven't had a good, serious cold snap for a few years, so it's been a while since I've seen chunks of ice floating down the Delaware from Trenton and more exotic points north.
On the way home from lunch with a friend yesterday, I stayed on the El for a couple of extra stops to see if the Delaware was icy yet, but no. A little crusty around the edges, but isn't it always? Nothing more.
