Ice Boom May Go In Water Tomorrow

The New York Power Authority says it depends on the weather

The authority has asked for approval from the International Joint Commission to put the ice boom in a week early than originally scheduled.

The boom typically goes in when the water temperature in Lake Erie reaches 4 C.

The temperature has been around 4.4 C this week.

The boom is placed at the mouth of the river to reduce the amount of ice from Lake Erie and prevent ice blockages from interfering with hydropower production.
