Gus winters similar to the one that has
frozen the marrow in our bones for the

where a winter is so severe and long
and where so much snow has fallen
as in the present, the breakup usually
comes with a rush, rain storms and
continued warm weather breaking up
the ice rapidly, the latter forming jams
at intervals and backing up the water
