Niagara River Ice Boom

[waterlogged]

Anyone know if they have pulled the ice boom in the upper Niagara River. From the sound of another post I think it might still be in>?>??

I noticed last Sat, after being up at the Oak, and driving home to PA. that there appeared to be alot of ice yet on Erie. So it wouldn't surprise me if it is still in.

Yes, the Niagara Ice boom is in place and according to what I have been told, the boom is opened for short periods when feasible(to allow some ice to head down river) UNFORTUNATELY, the latest Satelite imagery (March 29th) shows Lake Erie has more than 75% broken ice cover! Don't rush to the Niagara bar yet! The weather forecast for the next few days indicates that you will need to WINTERIZE your boat! The "early in's' had better drain the manifolds and blocks or else it will be "Big City Freeze Crack Time!".......Jet Boat Bill

Tuesday, at the Fallsview, I saw the ice bridge below the falls disappear along with some fishing money.

The iceboom is scheduled for removal starting Tuesday.

Yes, the Lake Erie ice cover is down to 240 sq miles, so the boom removal is starting the 10th (today).
