The Day The Ohio River Froze.......

It's currently -5 degrees Fahrenheit. So incredibly cold. One has to go back almost 40 years to experience the last time the OHIO RIVER FROZE. Hard to believe that a flowing river like the Ohio River could freeze, but it happened. From Pittsburgh to Louisville the river froze solid with ice as deep as 8-12 inches. People walked and sledded across the Ohio River from Ohio to Kentucky and back; a once in a lifetime event (we hope!!)
