Nenana Ice Is
Six Inches Thicker
Than Last Year
A report from Dan Ketzler,
manager of the Nenana Ice Clas
sic, dated February 1, states:
“The ice today measured thirty
three inches thick, seven inches
more than two weeks ago, and
thirteeiT inches more than on De
cember 22. This is” approximately
six inches better than at the same
time last year, and the water is
about six inches deeper.
“For the past three weeks we
have been having very mild wea
ther, and for some reason the ice
seems to be freezing faster than
in the forty- and fifty-below zero
weather. There are a lot of theo
ries on this, one of them is that
the warm weather drives the cold
down to the water.”
