Sandy Hook Channel, one of the two main passageways, finally was closed as the unusually heavy ice submerged or moved navigational buoys. No one wanted to risk yet another major oil-tanker disaster. Icebreakers rammed their curved prows against ice up to 18 in. thick to keep the Hudson open as far north as Albany.

The lone complaint came from a Radcliffe sophomore who had to leave her first college hockey game after two periods for a guitar rehearsal and missed a great 20 minutes of action as a result...
