I just received a notice from foxwaterways 01/08/2009

ALERT! - STAY OFF OF THE ICE! The Stratton Lock and Dam will be lowering the water levels... this will cause pockets of air between the ice and the water causing hazardous conditions



due to ice damning on the river and with water levels at a all time high for winter pool
the stratton dam will be lowering the water level starting now to next week
this will cause air pockets between the water and ice and will be verry un safe
ice buckling will be through out the chain as well
