The Year That the Bay Froze Over

This episode will cover the Deep Freeze that hit Delmarva in January of 1977.  The Chesapeake Bay FROZE over.  To get an overall understanding of the extent of this event, please take a look at the photos linked in the description of the episode.  The Bay is around 200 miles long and can range from 2.8 to 30 miles wide, so the cold would have been harsh and long lasting to allow it to freeze.  This is an event that I am in awe of and find fascinating.
