Great video!! Thanks keep up the good work you're a awesome person

[@ChristianBoutet]

Thank you

[@terrainescapes2069]

Thanks for sharing this video, I’ve watched it now a half-dozen times and never seem to tire of it. I live in Texas and we never get this kind of cold. So thanks for braving this cold to record it. I can only assume that during the peak of winter everything comes to a stop, at the rivers, canals, lakes, etc… However please keep all this cold up there, we don’t want it, much less are not constructed to withstand it. Every pipe in the state would freeze and break.

-24c now, if thing stay until spring, the icebreak next year will be impressing. I hope to bring video of that.

[@SeedlingNL]

I take it it'll be any time now?

[@nuclearcasserole]

interesting comment.

[@kulsumbibiRahim-]

So exhilirating. Love to see video from the other side also please. Thanks for this lovely video, best I have ever seen of ice flow..

[@ChristianBoutet]

It"s to complicated from the other side. This is the better side.

[@aileensochon7500]

I can't believe that didn't go over. I would have wanted to get a big stick and go e it a nudge. 😂. Your videos are so good. Camera. It saving all I we the p!ace. You can keep watching it over again and focus on something you didn't see the previous time. Love it. Thanks for sharing. 👌 from Nottinghamshire England

Sorry for typos won't let me edit 😵

[@ChristianBoutet]

Happy that you enjoy. I can guarantie you that all the ice go away, but i was not there to catch it

[@sarajanesmith3892]

Would love to see that in person!!

[@claudiasmemaw]

Nice video-brings back memories of the 1st time I experienced a body of water frozen solid to a depth of 6 inches.. A moonless night, added to the eeriness of the sound. The ice was alive! It creaked, cracked, moaned & groaned like invisible people were out on the ice, dying. Skating was impossible! It wasn't smooth like the ice rink. It was rough. The wind caused ruffles to form on the surface as the water froze.

[@ChristianBoutet]

I love to ear ice working, we have that now, -24c and the St-Laurent River talk very.

[@jonthurlow1433]

3:05 I was so focused and mesmerized I jumped when the guy started talking. Good video!

[@75ChrisC]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

A NATUREZA é linda

[@ChristianBoutet]

Oui, d'accord avec vous

[@wendibernhardt9190]

Amazing to me how this river ever freezes over like this

[@ChristianBoutet]

[@rowill2968]

fast forward to the end to see the really good bit!

[@ChristianBoutet]

Yes, i will try to make a shorter version, next year. Nature is usually slow to develop.

[@kellyredinger5974]

Nothing changed. Your idea of the end is different than mine.😃

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Good video!!!

[@hebneh]

Since I live in the tropics I have no personal experience with ice on rivers, but after watching this I'm assuming that a dam like this would be built just upstream of a bridge. The ice that goes over the dam gets broken up into small pieces, and if there is a build-up, it occurs against the dam and not the bridge supports.

[@ChristianBoutet]

The dam you see is for electric power production, it is just before a fall (35m), your idea is good however, but ice damage is always related to how much ice is coming and the way they pile up and push.

[@ChristianBoutet]

Mother Nature is fascinating, i could happily go along there, wrapped up warm, flask of hot tea, a few sandwiches and sweeties and sit there all day long if i lived nearby.

[@dirkplatvoet4380]

And we in the Netherlands trying to find ways to keep that same water out of our houses, being forced to have our teas and sandwiches on higher grounds;-)

[@smoothfags20]

@@dirkplatvoet4380 Much of your land is re-claimed from the Sea Dirk.

[@dirkplatvoet4380]

Hi Andy, I know, but borrowed is a better word for it. Within a few decades at least ten million Dutch have to find another place to live, maybe Canada?
