    Aislyn Heise of Jackson, 8, tosses a piece of ice into the Mississippi River as more ice flows downstream Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019, in Cape Girardeau. Heise came out to the river with her grandparents, Sherry and Mark Snider of Dexter. "It's amazing the power of the river," Mark said. "It's neat to see all the ice. It kind of humbles you. Makes you feel kind of small in the universe when you're down around something like this." (Jacob Wiegand ~ Southeast Missourian)
