Recent Cold Weather
During the recent cold snap to the

drifting into the bay from the upper
reaches of Cook Inlet. During this
period Seldovia was completely iso

weather set in, no boats were able
to make that port. The ice has been
driven out of the bay now by the
warm weather and winds from the
south, although the shore is still
lined with huge cakes of ice.
