Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Mississippi River
As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in Minnesota.
So cold, in fact, that the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for freighter traffic.
The Icebreaker has started working its way northward.
Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking begins.
Impressive!

Marty,

It has been brutally cold all year. The ice is super thick everywhere. There will be ice on some lakes until the middle of May. The temperatures say it is only the 20th worst winter on record or something silly like that. This has been the worst for cold that I have ever seen. First time over 40 since mid November supposedly coming Sunday.0

Yeah, but I'm Italian. We're not used to breaking ice - just stomping grapes.... Lol
I pretty much dedicated this post to Ricky Hamlin. The Mississippi is his playground....0
