Ice formed on the Deschutes River due to frigid temps in Bend this week. On Christmas Eve Day in the Old Mill District, the sun was shining but it was frigid with temps hovering near zero. Brrrrr.
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.
