Too cold? Why, is the water solid?
I live in Missouri, and my home river is the Saint Francis. If the
water's liquid, people paddle! I've paddled in below 0 Celsius temps
and had ice forming on my paddle, and when it was raining ice too. But
as long as the water's liquid, and exists...

You have a home river? I'm jealous...

Well, The Saint as we call it is 100 miles from STL, but it's the most
reliable WW river closest to STL.

And it's my favorite place on the planet too! It's not fancy, but I
call it home.
