Creeks Choked by Ice

Observation: There is a lot of overflow and flooding happening in Anchorage area streams, as a result of the recent record rain fall. This is usually a little brook that you can jump over any time of year. Now this trail was practically impassable, or at least wet and hazardous to anyone who tried. The bridge is either under the ice now or gone and the the level of flood can be seen in the exposed bit of the bench on the opposite bank. This raising concerns about safety, flooding, and access.
