In addition, the Harlem River isn’t a river, either. It catches the incoming tide that pushes up the North River (Hudson) and then runs south bound. When it meets the incoming tide at the confluence of the East “River”, it forms on of the worst pieces of river you’ll ever navigate.
Besides that, The East River can flow up to 8 knots on a swift, outgoing tide. Its NOT freezing over.
Sputen Duyvil!
Large rivers usually don’t completely freeze over. There may be ice on the surface, but underneath the river still flows. The Mississippi is like that. It’s beautiful to look at on a sunny day, but every few seconds, you hear the ice crack-pop-snap from the energy beneath. I would be afraid to walk across a large river covered over with ice. It’s not what it seems.
If I keep reading these posts I’m afraid I will learn there are no rivers.
Next you’ll say cry me a river doesn’t mean a real river.
