We see a sign of spring

As the weekend forecast is for warmer temperatures and a melting of snow, Monday will bring another sign of spring to the Twin Sault area.

That is, the Coast Guard cutter Katmai Bay (pictured above) will start to break ice on Monday in the St. Mary’s River preparatory to the upcoming shipping season.

In that, contrary to previous winters, this one was warmer, ice cover on the St. Mary’s River did not reach its usual thickness.

Dare we say that this inches us closer to spring and thinking about the looming days of cold drinks on warm, downtown patio bars.
