hey, equal ice for everyone. Ask the Mayor.
Im sure the world is devastated.
At the time of the founding of this country, the Hudson and East rivers would routinely freeze for several weeks during the winter. People would walk from Manhattan to Staten Island.
Anyways, these rivers freezing are simply more evidence of Global Warming, and if you question the logic, you hate science.
The East River really isn’t a river, it’s a tidal basin, connecting Long Island Sound with New York Harbor and is almost as salty as the Atlantic. It receives a small amount of fresh water from the Harlem River, and possibly from rivers draining into Long Island sound.
I keep seeing global warming stories because they know people are cold and they are telling everyone to ignore their own experiences.
"Another global warming research trip! We're on our way!"
Hell’s Kitchen freezes over. /S
The Hudson freezes in spots every few years or so, it’s nothing new. I was crossing it a few weeks ago and it was “slushy”.
As the ferry passes over the slush it’s quite an eerie sound.
I remember a few years back the river was frozen solid, they had boats passing up & down the river trying to keep the shipping & ferry lanes open. Once or twice ferry service had to be suspended.
Yes, I remember that. A good hunk of the Long Island Sound did, too....Little Neck Bay, Manhasset Bay...it was a cold, cold winter that year.

Impossible. Quit spreading these evil rumors you flat earth global warming denier!
Move the contents of the UN building out onto the ice and tow it out into the ocean.
Up until aome time around the 1950's to 1960's most of the Hudson river between New York City and Albany would freeze solid every winter.
Once frozen they would put cars and trucks on the ice.
Some cars served as taxis to take people from one side of the river to the other, trucks delivered goods and hauled ice blocks cut from the river. They even held auto races on the ice.
Yes, it did. That was the coldest winter of my life. Trying to get a bus on 2nd Avenue in 2 degree weather was unpleasant. I think Newsweek or Time had a cover: “The Big Freeze.”
I was 13 that winter and for the life of me can’t remember it? I do remember the summer of 77. The Yankees, Son of Sam, the Blackout.
It can’t happen, Al Gore said we are HEATING the planet. The East River can’t freeze, we don’t want Al Gore look like a liar, do we? :)
Damn Global Warming. /s
