The river stopped yesterday. Two days ago, this was the Mackenzie at sunset (3:30pm):
Then, one day later, frozen solid. I’ve been told that people will likely start crossing it within the next few days.
These days, sunrise is at 10:30am, and sunset is at 3:45pm. Both occur very gradually, resulting in hours of pastel-coloured light shining through hoar frost-covered trees. The temperature has dropped since last week and is now hovering around -25°C.
