Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Mississippi

Cousin Randy sent me this... He lives in Minnesota and that may explain it. 
   As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in Minnesota .  So cold, in fact, that the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for freighter traffic.  The Icebreaker is starting near Winona and working its way northward. 

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