I was coming back along the 101 by the ball fields near St. Croix on Friday=
 afternoon and the river there had actually topped the dykes in places and =
there were flooded fields on both sides of the river=85

I've placed three recent photos of ice conditions and the recent extreme hi=

The first photo would be "same old, same old" in the Gulf of St. Lawrence b=
ut is not quite so typical for the Minas Basin. In any case, it shows solid=
 ice cakes from East Point, N. Grand Pre, right across to Blomidon on Feb. =
12th.

The second photo shows high tide at the main bridge between Greenwich and P=
ort Williams on Feb. 19th when the predicted tide was 16.2 m. The ice cakes=
, going upriver, were hitting the bridge but I would call it a low-key situ=
ation, as it was. I would have liked to have seen it the next day when the =
predicted tide was 16.7 m, but our weather here did not really allow that d=
rive.

The third photo shows a 16.5 m high tide at the main dyke, just N of Horton=
 Landing, on Feb. 21st. The ice cakes are close to level with the dyke but =
the water is probably about 1 m. below.

These photos are sequential on my site. I just wanted to discuss them indiv=
idually here. I checked the non-evidence in the snow on the 21st and there =
was no sign whatsoever that the peak tides on the 20th and early on the 21s=
t had even splashed up onto the top of the dyke, at either Port Williams or=
 Horton Landing. Actual tides are adjusted from the predicted levels by the=
 specific atmospheric pressure and winds each day. Someone like Roy Bishop =
would have to discuss how that worked out this past week.

Rick Whitman
