An awful jam by the bridge, it makes a awful noise. Ice and water nearly came up to the bridge before any of the ice gave way and went under. Sidney went out and loosened a lot of it and helped to get it started on it's way. Thundered and lightened this morning. Maud did not go to school it was so bad today. Mora is improving fast. Got a card from Susie saying Pa was bad off would like to see him but I can not tell whether or not I will be able to.
