It took $3,400 to do it. 70 years ago today Port Huron's warmest winter was broken by a cold spell that swept in during the weekend, plunging temperatures to near zero.

50 years ago today An movement in St. Clair County took on formal aspects of a fullfledged campaign last night. Seventy supporters of the general met in council chambers in Port Huron's City Hall to plan initial steps in their campaign. I Solid, nonmoving ice filled the St. Clair River from St.

Clair to' Algonac today. That means the end to a flood threat for now. However, warmer weather is expected soon, meaning the threat of more flooding could return soon. 25 years ago today Area cities and villages are being plagued with broken water mains, the result of this winter's bitter cold temperatures.
