His pilot boat has to be taken out of the water as soon as ice starts, of course.
Normal freeze up usually early Jan to mid March. This year a bit earlier. We have 3 more ships, at least so I'll post a few pics when the icebreakers come to town. Thanks for asking.

This is one things most people in other parts of the world do not understand when they see the pictures of the guy digging out his basement with remote control trucks and diggers.
You have longer days in summer, and (as a farmer) build up huge stockpiles in summer to get you through the winter, and when winter comes, you occupy indoors with great things most people never get to do as they always spend time off in their summer to "vacation" instead of work longer/harder.
