Winter of 1911 12 Warmth Fades In Winthrop Ice Scenic
The winter's lingering cold brought novel sights to Winthrop including ice covered marshlands from Breed's Island to Winthrop harbor and views of Revere beach. Residents enjoyed ice formed landscapes, while skating on Lewis Lake gave way to eel catching with poles and steel spears. Ducks near East Boston harbor showed food scarcity influence, and questions arose about mosquitoes returning. Church attendance and street activity remained high as spring seemed near.
