December 1917 was according to JW the "worst winter" with "the thickest ice I have ever seen."  The photos below are dated January 1918, taken from various locations along the Monongahela River, showing the thick ice JW wrote about.  My impression is that the photographer, most probably Captain Robert Eberhart, drove along the river taking the photos at these locations. There are additional comments on January 2, 1918 and January 15, 1918, and not ending until February 1918,
