Streams flow as more icy weather is forecast

A light snowfall just as the current cold snap began added to the picturesque scene Monday afternoon at the Weisenberger Mill and its dam on South Elkhorn Creek, seen less these days because the bridge there remains closed. Meanwhile, Lee Branch was still running in Walter Bradley Park, below, but ice floes were beginning to form along the banks. Temperatures are not forecast to rise above freezing until Sunday, but streams in the Midway area are partly spring-fed and thus slower to freeze than if they were fed entirely from surface tributaries.
