Saranac River ice breakup *FASCINATING*
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2018
- January 22, 2018 , while sitting in my living room, I heard the strangest noise coming from the river. I look out and see this. All I can say is "wow" as I watch Mother Nature show her force. Please excuse the last part of the video, my phone froze up (must have been inspired by the river) and I couldn't shut it off. I thought perhaps I'd lose the video but alas I got it! Anyway, I may have used foul language. Whoops!

I live in the desert so I love watching stuff like this! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
You are so very fortunate to have this just off your deck. Thanks for sharing!
You have a nice clear voice and a lovely way of speaking, excellent commentary and describing what is going on in the video. Unfortunately we do not have the climate for this type of weather in Australia. Thank you for posting
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Loved everything about this video, i couldn't take my eyes off it, The Icy River, the scenrey, your calm voice, and what an amazing view you have from your home - incredible & beautiful at all times of the year i'm sure
Thank you so much! It really is incredible

Thank You for showing us your video....how fun is that to watch Mother Nature taking care of Business. BEAUTIFUL. 🍃♥️🕊
I was watching the ice flow down the Mississippi near Monticello MN today. It was a peaceful flow and so relaxing to watch. Lots of big chunks of wood and a huge trunk of a dead tree...was so cool to watch and hear the occasional crunch of the chunk grinding together.
High five on the good eye...Dad always said listen and watch or smell and nature (Planet) will show you amazing things but some of the best are only experienced by being aware. I am 63 now and still do. You video had all the things needed to help someone that's never seen a ice flow. Peace
What a nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a good video. Moving ice amazes me because I am down in the south and we don't see much down here.
The raw power and beauty of Nature is amazing to see.
Thumbs up for the humble brag in mentioning your riverfront living room.
What a beautiful spot on this planet to live. Loved watching this with you!
Thank you so much! It is indeed beautiful!
Thank you April I like your video, fun watching the ice flow, must be great to be there as it was happening.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching. I love living on the river because it really is fascinating at times.
I'm jealous of that view.
Best UA-cam video I have seen in a while
Aww, thank you
It IS fascinating to watch. You live in a beautiful spot. How cool to be able to watch the weasel from your place! 💝
Awesome video - beautiful and scary at the same time !
Thank you for sharing 👍😊💕
Awesome watching ice out it gathers crowds in canada
Wow! That big chunk that broke off looks like an aircraft carrier's deck!!
It sure does!
Nice video! Much love from Latvia (Europe)! :)
Wow! Thank you!
😎 Love what you’ve done with the place 🇺🇸 Epic scenery
Excellent sleep track.
It is awesome to live on a river! They are always changing
Agree! I love it here. Fishing isn't the greatest in this location because it's so shallow but about a mile upstream is a great fishing hole. We also enjoy tubing on it in the summer and the kids play in it.
Wow!! What a amazing video! Love it!
Lauren Willhoit Thank you!
Where are you April in Plattsburgh, NY or around Saranac, NY
Mother nature is in control April!!!
Thanks for this! It'll be our turn soon in far northern Maine.
I served , USAF.Plattsburgh.I remember the Saranac river well.After 4 years of this, I said NO MORE!!!
I was an air force brat but at Eielson. I'm sure you have heard of it 😊 I moved up here as an adult and love life up here... although it's very cold. I can say that it's not the coldest I've dealt with though.
Hello
amfulloffun amfulloffun , is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
You have stunning view from your living room!
I got to see ice out on the upper Missouri River once. Amazing how big it is.
Pretty cool. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
God bless you always my friend, I hope you have a great day. :)
I think your video was just perfect!
Thank you Todd!
April Wood What State do you live in that the rivers freeze up, looks more like somewhere in Canada.?That Ice Breakup is quite an event.
I live in upstate NY, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. Good guess!
Close to lake placid
Hi, not sure why this video popped up but thanks! Small world: I went to SUNY Plattsburgh (Kent Hall, the river behind it) and student taught at Saranac Jr/Sr HS. Such a beautiful part of NYS. Btw, I’m in ….Buenos Aires so hola!
Yes, small world! My kids go to school at Saranac Jr/Sr high. Thank you for reaching out! Hola!
Are used to swim in the Saranac. near Jay & Upper Jay lived in West Chazy at the time. Owner the Busy Bee Laundromat in the N. Country Shopping Center.
Hello April! Is it possible to contact you regarding this video? (i.e. via email) I would love to discuss a permission to use your video if this is possible. Greetings!
So jealous of your view. Thanks for a great video.
You're welcome!
Scary.
Ending was the best part. 😆
🤣
Frozen ground, plus ice blocking the flow equals flooding along the river.
What a spectacular view. Are there fish in that river. If so, do you have a spare room? 😉
There are indeed fish in the river, different parts have different varieties. There are rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, landlocked salmon, and steelhead. There's not much directly behind the house though because it's quite shallow. Good fishing is nearby though. And yes, we have a spare room ;-)
Amazing.
This obviously happens every year?
Can you walk across when its at its most frozen?
One would think it happens every year but this is my 5th winter living on the river and that was the only year it froze so much. Right now (1/21/21) there is absolutely no ice. So it was a rare sight I guess. As far as walking across, no. Even with all that ice as in the video, it wasn't frozen on the farthest side. The water is slightly deeper over there and the current is swifter so it didn't freeze.
Very interesting.
Thank you for replying.
A better title would have been "High tuber seas weasel, heres trees, thinks river is flowing backwards"
Thanks for the advice. Now here's some for you, learn how to spell before you try to insult others. 😉
I would love to be there! Nothing like this happens in NM!
I'm sure you have other amazing things 😊 But, it is definitely a beautiful place to live in the Adirondacks
What an amazing nature. Where is it filmed? Which Country?
Thank you! It's upstate New York in the Adirondack park.
Why is it they never recommend these videos on a hot summer day lol
😂 And we just got a huge snowfall today! ❄️
Old Man Winter is loosing his grip!
Nice view, from your living room .
Thank you, I consider myself fortunate to live here
Wake me up when the action starts..........
I think you mean otter because weasels do not go in the water.
Thank you! I felt pretty sure it wasn't an otter so I did a little research and I'm confident it was a mink now. It was much too small to be an otter. I appreciate the education.
can't stand it, when people jiggle around with the camera, i think there is a school some where to learn using a camera, any camera device.
When I would zoom in at all the camera would "jump" I think it's obvious my camera was giving me difficulty. Anyway, don't watch if you can't stand it. Others probably enjoy.
go watch your own vid then you dork

Ou you are a happy girl, if you are sitting in your living room and can see the river so direct...are you not afraid of big water? Flash flood of so?
No, we don't have to worry about flooding of our house. Because it's lower on the opposite side of the river it would flood the entire forest over there first. And we're about 50 feet up the hillside. I definitely love living right on the river!
That's cool!!
Pretty neat.
Love your pooch, too :D:)
Thank you 😊
How the hell does a ice jam sound like an airplane flying over
The rumble that it created...it just did.
The sound on the video doesn't do it justice you can't imagine how loud it truly was don't hate

Where's that
Upstate NY, Saranac River.
👍🇸🇪❤️
have you sweaty hand
It's not a weasel it's frogger crossing the river lol.
Bad joke, sorry.
doesn't this happen every year?
Ya, it does. This last spring the river was barely frozen so it wouldn't have been nearly as dramatic as this. In the 4 winters I've lived on the river this video is the only year I've actually seen this.
@@amfulloffun76 ahhhh ok now I understand - Australian here with no knowledge of frozen things
@@potr6461 no problem. Thank you for asking 👍
Next time put up a camera that's gonna capture the beginning
#satisfying
The camera movements are annoying …
Sorry
Much too long (because of no editing), really nothing happens. And you called it fascinating.
Sorry, this clip is simple boring...
I'm sorry my video didn't meet your standards. I'm not a professional videographer. Myself and plenty of other internet viewers find these kinds of things fascinating. You know...it takes less time out of your day to simply scroll on and be nice. Have the day you deserve.
Was the weasel white or brown?
It was brown 😊
@@amfulloffun76 since you said it was diving in and out of the water I kind of figured that would be the answer so the correct answer to the animal identification is that's not a weasel that's a mink.
@@deannelson9565 ah, thank you so much!!!
@@amfulloffun76 yeah during the winter weasels are pure white with a black tip on their tail they're also extremely small very skinny and are not overly affectionate to water. Whereas mink are almost exclusively found around water cuz they're basically semi-aquatic ....they're more or less just small otters with a really bad attitude and a sweet tooth for muskrats crayfish and pretty much anything else they can catch!
@@deannelson9565 that's so kind of you to take the time to explain. I really appreciate it!
