In 1977 of course! 
It's not frozen now but there are some huge chunks of ice floating by all the way across.

The kid in the bottom photo is prepared. He has his leather Converse All-Stars and his high water Toughkins jeans on!ernest_t_bass wrote: Walking on a deep frozen river... some people are so stupid.

Here in DC , the Potomac is frozen over.
I can't remember exactly when, but I think it was 93, or 94 when the Scioto River froze over. That was pretty neat.

Thanks.
That last pic looked like an area just below Shadyside looking over the river at rt. 2, and that's why I was asking. But I'm sure that there are many such views lining the river!

From what I understand, that could possibly one of Neil Young's illegitimate children. He was touring with CSN&Y in this area in late '69/early '70.CinciX12 wrote: In the first picture the kid on the left has on an awesome jacket.

It's between South Point and Coal Grove but closer to Coal Grove.
Google map of exact location at Ashland, KY

I can't find the bridge or exact location in the Cincinnati picture.

28 of 31 days that January were below zero. You could have driven across it with no worries whatsoever.ernest_t_bass wrote: Walking on a deep frozen river... some people are so stupid.

Up in Delavan, Wisconsin they drive a fire truck out onto the edge of the lake to make sure it's safe for cars to drive on it.fish82 wrote:28 of 31 days that January were below zero.

They aren't dropping the tires down where there is 3+ ft of water or anything but I still wondered when I witnessed it what would happen if it wasn't frozen enough. I guess they call a tow truck in.

Back in the day, the quickest way from Ohio to Canada was across the lake. Semis would use this route once Lake Erie was ready.Chesapeake wrote:Up in Delavan, Wisconsin they drive a fire truck out onto the edge of the lake to make sure it's safe for cars to drive on it.fish82 wrote:28 of 31 days that January were below zero.
