Thanks to George Ponder for this image… he writes:
“James,
I’m sure you’ve received this picture already but just in case….
It’s the fountain at the Collonade. The pond is about two feet deep and the ice was easily 6 inches thick. Thick enough to hold my weight without crackling.
I’ve seen the fountain portion grow icicles in winter’s past but this by far is the thickest I’ve seen them and the most the pond has frozen over.
Even the lakes on Blue Lake Road are partially frozen and the Cahaba River that flows under US 280 has a sheet of ice on it. You know it’s cold when you begin to look forward to temps in the upper 30’s.”
