Giant ice disk survives storm

-

WESTBROOK, Maine — Maine’s giant spinning ice disk that quickly gained internatio­nal fame survived the weekend winter weather that pummeled New England and now has its own webcam.

The webcam in Westbrook monitors the disk that’s been spinning in the Presumpsco­t River for more than a week and continues its counterclo­ckwise rotation. The Portland Press Herald reports the disk has enjoyed increased notoriety, due to its unusually large size — about 100 yards across.

Westbrook official Tina Radel said the livestream was requested by Brown University, which asked for a webcam to monitor the eventual demise of the disk.

The disk had gotten stuck last Wednesday, but was later freed by a Freeport man.
