Chesapeake Bay freeze, Eastern Shore workboats on ice

My friend Kurt Kolaja, videographer and filmmaker, traveled a bit on Maryland’s Eastern Shore on Jan. 30, capturing these scenes from Kent Narrows, Turner’s Creek and Chestertown. The last time the Chesapeake saw extensive ice — so thick in some places that you could drive a car onto it — was the winter of 1976-1977.
