Marquette Police Say It’s Time To Stay Off Of The Ice In Lower Harbor

Marquette, MI – February 26, 2021 – Marquette City Police say this weekend’s warmer weather and windy conditions are making it unsafe to venture out on the ice on Lake Superior.

MPD Chief Blake Rieboldt spoke about the potential for hazardous ice conditions and using common sense to stay safe with Mark & Walt in the Morning.

Rieboldt says the enormous popularity over the past several weeks to experience the ice near Marquette’s Lower Harbor ore dock may make it tempting to head out this weekend, but it won’t be safe.

Rieboldt added with temperatures climbing to around 40 and shifting winds potentially making the Lake Superior ice unstable, it’s a better choice to stay onshore.
