Chris, here're a couple of snow-day shots from farther downstream:

A very low-water run. I've run it from 1.3' to 2.65' on the Sang Run gauge -- we didn't have a good stage-to-volume conversion then, so I only know the stage.
It was just me and Mark Hei, who took these pictures from his boat. I remember the snow as about 18" deep, but there was no ice in the river.
The take-out parking at the bridge hadn't been built yet so we dragged our boats all the way from the State Park parking lot down to just above Swallow Falls. You just couldn't carry a boat and beat yer way through such deep snow.
The first shot is where the whole river goes through that narrow slot against the left bank. Later we learned to boof that pourover. I cannot recognize the rapid in the second shot from the position Mark shot it. Possibly Suk Hole from the eddy below the Suk-hole eddy, the eddy that receives the outflow of the seive.
