Just letting everyone know that an ice breaker is supposed to start breaking up the ice today to the coal dock in Escanaba.
UPDATE: I was in Gladstone around 3:00 pm today and I'm pretty sure I could see the ice-breaker off the Escanaba Harbor mouth. With a high temp. forcast tomorrow of 33 degrees and upper 20's for highs the next ten days, it will probably not re-freeze too fast (if at all). So be careful out there folks...
