U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, completing the first ice measurements of the year on Lake Pepin, near Red Wing, Minn., Wednesday, Feb. 13.
The measurements help the navigation industry determine when it might be possible to get tows upstream to St. Paul, Minn. The lake is usually the last obstacle preventing northbound tows. Lake Pepin, located on the Mississippi River between Red Wing and Wabasha, Minn., is used as the benchmark because the ice melts slower in this area due to the lake width and the slower current.
