Not cold duck, but cold geese. Another bilingual joke. 'Cold Duck' is a spritzer made from white wine and champagne. The name comes from 'Cold ends (of the bottles of wine used to mix them together)', which sounds like 'cold duck' in German.
It's minus 26 c. and the river is still open, with plumes of mist floating off it. The geese are huddled up on the ice. I saw some hock (German white wine) glasses at Value Village and thought of this very bad joke.
'Hock' is a generic term in English for German white wines. It comes from the town of Hochheim, which was a centre of the wine trade.
