Buffalo News report<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter having their departure from Buffalo delayed due to inclement weather, the Little Rock\u2019s crew finally got the ship underway on Dec. 20, only to get stuck in ice during a routine port visit in Montreal, where it\u2019s been docked since Dec. 27, according to the Buffalo News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailors aboard Little Rock haven\u2019t allowed Jack Frost to keep them stagnant, though, as they continue to work through the tough conditions, performing routine maintenance as well as repairs on a ship steering cable, according to Lt. Cmdr. Courtney Hillson, public affairs officer for Naval Surface Force Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailors wrapped up repairs on Jan. 5, Hillson told Navy Times, but ice has kept the ship from steaming to its next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIcy conditions delayed the ship\u2019s departure due to a limited number of tugs,\u201d she said.

Once tugs become available, Little Rock should be able to get on its way, she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then, sailors are at least making the most of the winter wonderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
