Bulk Carrier Ship stuck in Ice on Lake Erie ... Ice Breaker coming to the rescue?

Just a couple miles away from port, a bulk carrier ship is stuck in the ice but it may take a couple more days to free it due to heavy ice coverage on the Great Lakes, and Lake Erie, in particular, is experiencing unusually heavy ice coverage.

The ship, stuck in the ice for 2 full days, may be freed today or tomorrow.

Bulk Carrier Paralyzed On Lake Erie As Ice Coverage Exceeds 50-Year Trend

Climate misinformation and disinformation, relentlessly pushed by far-left corporate media outlets, had their readership believing they were on the brink of perishing on a fiery planet—blaming everything from Taylor Swift's private jet travels to cow farts in late 2024.
Then came 'Old Man Winter,' unleashing a polar vortex across the eastern half of the US, bringing record-low temperatures in some regions. Multiple winter storms traversed the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, including an incredibly rare snowstorm that battered New Orleans (bordering Gulf of America waters) that nearly surpassed a snowstorm last seen 130 years ago.
The cold blast (or what has felt like a 'mini ice age' this month) produced by the polar vortex does not align with the corporate media's and the World Economic Forum's global warming doom narrative. This may explain why 'green' politicians and unelected officials, along with MSM, have somewhat ignored the reality of a cold blast freezing the US to the core.
These are not the headlines one would expect to see if the planet was actually on fire:
The latest cold weather emergency comes from the Great Lakes region. X users citing ship tracking data indicate that at least one bulk carrier is stranded on Lake Erie due to rapidly expanding ice coverage by subzero temperatures.
Meteorologist Tom Niziol wrote on X, "Lake Erie over 80% ice-covered, freighter Manitoulan is stuck in the ice just outside Buffalo Harbor."

NOAA ice cover data from the Great Lakes Ice Tracker shows that Lake Erie's current ice coverage is 80%, well above the 50-year trend of 46% for this time of year.
For the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes Ice Tracker shows ice coverage at 25%, which is in line with 50-year trends for this time of year.
The ice emergency unfolding on Lake Erie that has paralyzed some marine shipping lanes is not a headline that one would see if MSM was actually right about their global warming propaganda. No wonder trust in MSM has collapsed to record-low levels.
 
I recognize the Buffalo skyline. I pulled up Buffalo news and it said the icebreaker tug should have it freed up as of last night.
