Two Harbors Cam Updates
FYI,
The Service Provider cannot find the issue with the internet connection in Two Harbors. I will be up there next week with another network specialist to get things going.
I also have another trick up my sleeve.
Thanks for your patience, sorry about the delayed outage, it will be back though.

Two Harbors Cams Update!
Yesterday I talked with one of the ISP techs who was working on the internet service in Two Harbors.
The company was bought out last summer and is now headquartered in Pennsylvania. There is some kind of comparability problem between to two operations that is preventing the cameras from transmitting online.
While it it good to know that the issue is being worked on, I do not know when it will be resolved.
There is not much we can do but wait and let them work through their problems.
Sorry for the hold up, I miss the cameras as much as you do and will keep checking with them once a week and keep you posted.

Lift Bridge in Service
Update: 12/5/2019 09:00 Duluth Lift Bridge in service.
Update: 12/5/2019 - 07:00 Deicing will continue on the Lift Bridge today.
Update: 12/04/2019 - 16:00 The lift bridge remains out of service until further notice.
Due to heavy ice accumulation on the Lift Bridge, it will remain closed to boat traffic as deicing efforts continue.
The 900 ton bridge span is balanced by two 450 ton concrete weights on either side. Usually the span can easily be lifted by electric motors, however, they cannot lift the additional weight of the ice.
