Ice covering the lake as far as the eye can see. The Canadian icebreaker didn't move much, the ice is so thick.

Don't they close navigation any more. I wouldn't think they would have icebreakers out now.

There are needs for some transportation, and the icebreakers are on the lakes all winter long. Salt for instance is a commodity that has to be taken to cities that run out.

If you're interested to see how many vessels are running today, here is a link to a site for freighter traffic:

Look under Vessel Passage.

Thanks very much **Willow13**!

Here is more of what I just read in boatnerd:

This is the icebreaker Samual Riseley: Upbound escort for "Algocanada" on route to Chicago.

When I lived in Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) the bay froze over and nothing moved for two or three months and even then the ice breakers had to open a path for them all the way to the grain elevators and back again. Wonder what changed it, they must have needed things back then also. Thanks for the info, I will check it out. Arlene

No, that's for sure. It'll be a mess when the ice comes down!

We're going to Sarnia overnight, have to see the thousands of ducks that are here.
