Well, likely if the winter is normal or colder. But maybe not.
"It’s weather dependent," said Marshall. "So if we have a very mild winter,
we probably won’t have any damage at all. If we have a severe winter, we’ll
probably have substantial damage to the structure."
Local knowledge would put it a little differently.
A "mild" winter usually means thicker, harder, ice. The thaw-freeze cycle of a "mild" winter puts about three additional feet of thick, solid, concrete-like ice on the bay and rivers and lakes as the surface melts, floods, refreezes, and repeats.
Yeah.
Mild winter.
Looks like there's another thing the geniuses at Nalcor got right about Muskrat Falls.
