Three years ago today, the freeze of 2015 started as record cold temperatures took hold of the Chesapeake Bay region. February 2015 was the fourth coldest month on record at BWI Airport behind January 1977, January 1918 and February 1934. Temperatures did not let up until early to mid March, making navigation, commerce and commercial fishing activity difficult and dangerous.
I spent time documenting the effects of the ice on the seafood industry for 'Working the Water' on Tangier Island, Smith Island, Taylors Island, Kent Island, Cambridge, Tolchester Beach and Annapolis.
