"Now, after weeks of almost constant below-freezing temperatures, a
6-mile-long ice jam is clogging the river from just below the Scudder Falls
Bridge south to below Mercer County Waterfront Park.

"It's basically along the entire waterfront," Walt Nickelsberg, a
hydrologist with the National Weather Service's Mount Holly office, said of
the latest ice pack.

Typically on the Delaware River and in the mid-Atlantic region, winter
flooding stems from heavy rainfall that melts snow and sends the water
rushing into the river.

When arctic air is in the region for an extended period, ice forms on the
river. If the ice pack suddenly breaks, it can lead to a rapid rise in the
water level. Flooding also can occur behind such jams if the water level
rises."
