Photos of the Springs Under Deep Freeze

Deer Park Spring

The average temperature of the water from the chain of springs in Saratoga is around 41 to 45 degrees. This is why the springs continue to flow through the cold freezing days and nights of upstate NY. I braved the cold temperatures to snap shots of the current state of the springs around the city of Saratoga Springs, check it out. 
 ALL PHOTOS BY GEORGE DEMERS, don't steal, Santa is watching.
  First spring up is the most photogenic, the Orenda Spring. Here's a  shot of it's tufa dome formation from the SPAC bridge, the water cracking through the snow.

       The mouth of the Orenda looks a lot like a mouth. Got some ice on his cheeks.

                                A view of the dome from the Geyser Creek 

                    Up close and personal with the iced-over tufa dome.

Polaris looked the best, so fancy.

                    Icicles from Polaris were beady and looked like hair.

Congress Spring experiencing some ice build up.

  My personal favorite photo of the bunch, Deer Park getting frosty. 

                             Governor's Spring getting icy.

            Governor's peer, Peerless Spring, looking the same.

High Rock remains unfazed.

             Old Red Spring sporting a little bit of ice.

Last but definitely not least, the Hathorn Spring wins the Sparkling Spring Award.
