Record cold one day ~ thawing the next

 Photos by Barry Wallace
When I was a teenager, winters seemed frigid and frozen from late November until early March.   Back then, the icy East Humber River, across southern King Township, became a winter road that allowed me and my buddies a unaccustomed view of the snow-covered landscape.   Now 60 years later, the river has changed a lot.  The cold 'Humber' is not as deep now, and it seems to be open and flowing in many spots, on as many days, as when it is frozen over.   Increased caution beckons.  The cattle above descended to a small, thawing, rivulet for a cold sip near Nobleton.
