DULUTH, MINN - Although there's snow in the forecast, one sure sign of spring is the start to the shipping season in the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. The first laker, the John G. Munson, made its way through the harbor Monday evening.
Three record high temperatures were broken in Duluth this month, but port spokesman Adele Yorde says the shipping season will still have a slow start. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 60 percent of Lake Superior is still covered with ice.
