Ice

The recent plight of a well-known lake freighter, and satellite images that show the Great Lakes once again almost entirely covered in ice, are causing worry in the Great Lakes shipping industry about the prospects of another difficult spring.

"Obviously it's been another brutal winter," said Glen Nekvasil, vice president of the Lake Carriers' Association. "If it keeps going it will be a challenging resumption to navigation when we get going again in March."

As of Friday, the Arthur M. Anderson was working in convoy toward its winter lay-up in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. — and its journey may be a harbinger of things to come.

Wow, that's a lot of ice. They had to stop the ferries here due to the lake freezing over. A lot of people depend on the ferries to travel from the Vermont side of the lake to the New York side and vice versa. They are still not sure when the ferry service will be available again.

Indeed that is a lot of ice.

Global warming is the precursor to an ice age...
