BUFFALO, NY: "A lake freighter ship has begun to move after it got stuck in ice in the Lake Erie shoreline in the Buffalo River Wednesday morning. It first got stuck around 11:40 a.m. surrounded by a foot of ice. The vessel Manitoulin, which was returning to Michigan after completing a routine delivery of wheat, became immobilized by thick ice, which the U.S. Coast Guard said is commonplace this time of year amidst frigid temperatures.

“The situation that we are facing here on Lake Erie is that we have greater ice thickness than usual so local ice breakers and local Coast Guard vessels don’t have the capability to break ice with that level of thickness,” said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Bridgette Baldwin.

Another ship left Detroit, Michigan just before 8 a.m. Thursday to assist. It has an estimated arrival time in Buffalo of 2 p.m. That ship will be tasked to break ice around Manitoulin to make an attempt at freeing it."

Newsom [press conference]: Maybe the president just doesn't know that there's not a spigot that can be turned to solve all the water problems that he alleges exist, that don't exist, as it relates to the state water system here in southern California.

Newsom just said to the press, after rambling on and on, "I am halfway to fully answering your question".
