You're not terribly far off, in the grand scheme of things. That river in the picture starts in Pittsburgh, where the Allegheny and the Monongahela come together. This point's about as far along as that river freezes, though apparently once in a while it freezes a little further, around Louisville. Final hint: the city pictured is where the Licking River flows into the river pictured.

As an aside, and speaking of Louisville, have you ever been to that fossil bed place across the river from Louisville? It's way cool. You can walk out into the river. And the visitor center has a whole thing about how that's as far south as some big ol' glaciers came, and so the north and the south really are different. I mean they don't say that second part, but I thought it.

Is the fossil place "Big Bone Lick?" I actually visited there once.

Oh, and on that trip to Pittsburgh, we went to the very confluence where that river starts. I think my fellow commenter is right about Cincinnatti. Only spelled correctly.
