From the Niagara Falls Review:
Work crews are busy removing the Lake Erie-Niagara River Ice Boom.
The New York Power Authority, who own the boom in partnership with Ontario Power Generation, began opening the 22 spans Tuesday.
The boom, which is installed every winter, must be removed when the barrier of ice at the entrance of the Niagara River is about 402 square kilometres or less.
Ice cover on the lake was about 310 square kilometres Tuesday morning, making it possible to remove the 500- foot-long spans.
Another sign that spring is here and the summer season is on the way!
