Now and Then

Alpena is thawing out.

We were inundated with a request for information on how well Alpena is thawing out this spring, so here is an update.

It has been over a month since the last ice fisherman floated under the 2nd Avenue bridge on a hunk of ice past the Federal docks and the Coast Guard station.  Now the ice is off the river and the bay and Lake Huron.

A week or so ago the freighter Cuyahogo was back in the harbor offloading more road salt.  We figure this will be enough salt to get us through May at least.
