Start Cutting Ice Wednesday on Mississinpi River
Muscatine ice dealers plan their annual harvest from the Mississippi River in front of the city if cold weather holds. Kinsley has cleared snow near the third dam and expects about 8,500 tons of ice in the coming weeks. Fire ice is thin but could reach eleven inches with more freezing. Rosemond and Kuebler will fit two storage houses as soon as thickness is right. Ice is unusually clear due to rapid freezing and prolonged cold, setting a new ice-making record.
