Blue and white barrels are used by homeowners and businesses along Lake Ontario to secure and mark their piers and docks after Spring 2017 weather events caused elevated water levels. The Coast Guard is asking the public to mark barrels with a large, red "X" so that they can be easily identified as non-hazardous if barrels become adrift. (U.S. Coast Guard photo)
