This year there are two ice-breaking tugs operating on the Mohawk, the Margot and the brand-new Thomas X. Grasso. According to the NYS Canal Corp., this is the sixth year of the Ice Jam Mitigation Program: “The mission: proactively break sheet ice to reduce the impact of ice jams in this area.” Alplaus is glad to have these vessels doing their work!
