January 1, 2015 sunrise highlighted Mount Bachelor above the frozen Deschutes River. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
During a January cold snap in Central Oregon, it was interesting to watch frozen clumps of ice accumulate in the Deschutes River and flow downstream past the Old Mill District. Thankfully Bend's weather is now moderating and we hope the ice will soon disappear from the river.
Early morning near Bend's Old Mill District. Between the snow still on the ground and the additional ice that has accumulated along the banks of the river, this is a very wintry scene!
