As you may have seen on the news, it's been very cold in Iowa. So cold, in fact, that the U.S. Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for barge traffic. The Icebreaker is starting near Davenport and working its way northward.















Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking begins. Impressive!

    I thought a Norwegian icebreaker was some sort of nordic pick-up line!
