New Spirit Collects Lake Sediment Core at Crosby Lake

On January 17th a bus full of students from New Spirit School spent the afternoon retrieving two cores from Crosby Lake in St. Paul. It was not a particularly warm winter day (check out the details by going to http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMNSAINT2). The average temperature was 14.2 degrees F (-9.9 degrees C).

Two Lake sediment cores were collected - then people were glad to get back to the bus - it was cold!
