Not just Pittsburgh - New York City too
Last
evening I wrote about how Pittsburgh's rivers were freezing over.
Now, from
Business Insider:
New York's East River Is Freezing Over
Extreme cold temperatures in New York City are taking their toll on transportation. Earlier this week, snow cancelled flights and slowed down the subway network. Now some ferry service is being suspended � because the East River is freezing over.
One thing to consider is that the
East River is not actually a river -- it is a tidal strait and the water in it is seawater. Salt Water has a much lower freezing point (28�F) than Fresh Water (like the Hudson or Harlem rivers).
