The Lineup!
It looked like a shipping convention more then a nice April morning, but, until the Alder gets out, or, a captain is willing to test the ice.---things are at a standstill for now.
Boats in Waiting!
Boats waiting to get out of harbor and boats waiting to get in. The CGC Alder will be out this morning to break a path through the pack ice. Like a clogged drain, once there is a path, boat traffic will quickly return to normal.

Pack Ice 10 feet thick!
The tug North Carolina reports pack ice blown in from the storm is 10+ feet thick at the end of the Duluth Canal Piers. Even though it is only 1/4 mile to open water this will delay shipping until a path can be cut or the winds drop further, taking pressure off the ice pack.

Gales of April!
Pictures taken this morning at Canal Park. I think the enthusiasm of the wave watchers has diminished a bit.
