With the recent warm up and rain there was no ice on the river.  The landings were a little icy but not bad.  It was cold enough that the shaft of the paddle had a ¼ inch of ice on it. Where water had splashed on my pants and jacket it was ice. There was about 3/8 inch of ice where the paddle dripped on the deck.  The plastic in my paddle shrank more than the shaft and came loose on one side.  Now that is some serious cold water shrinkage.  I took some photos when I put in and then put the camera away.  I thought about getting it out one other time but did not want to take my gloves off.
Note the canoe load hanging on the wall in the center photo.  They had 4 inches of freeboard.
