MINNEAPOLIS How bad are the mayflies in Minnesota this summer?
So bad, snowplows were called out to clear the bug carcasses.
That's after a motorcyclist skidded out of control on a highway along the Mississippi River last week, because the bugs created a three-to-four-inch-thick layer on the road.
A sheriff in the area says the mayflies haven't been this bad since the mid '70s.
But the bugs could also mean good news. Environmentalists say mayflies are a sign of clean water.
