A thin rivulet of river wound its way down the center of the ice, occasionally shifting the ice enough to make an audible grinding noise. Though temperatures on the western Kenai Peninsula hung around and below zero degrees for more than a week, the National Weather Service predicts the temperature to rise into the teens and 20s with snow over the next week.
