Despite this week's warm weather, Peg Odell of the Hanford Mills Museum tells us this morning via email that the ice is still 8 inches thick -- plenty thick to harvest during today's annual ice harvest:
The ice is 8 inches deep, solid and safe for visitors to fully participate in the harvest. Hooray.
So get out there and enjoy the cold!
