The temperature might have dropped below zero as the wind wailed Friday, but the ice-carving teams in Rice Park loved it. The Mounds View resident was working on a “Last Supper” sculpture Friday morning — she’s teamed up with longtime carver “Buzzsaw” Bob Halverson to give shape to Leonardo da Vinci’s 15th-century mural — and said the arriving cold snap would be good for the carvings. Daytime high temperatures are expected to remain in the single digits through the weekend, with dangerously cold wind chills of 25 below or lower. Twenty-four hours after the team’s carving began, the heads of Bartholomew, James and Andrew jutted out of the glassy mass. The rest of the figures — Judas Iscariot, Peter, John, Jesus, Thomas, James the Greater, Philip, Matthew, Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot — took form later Friday. Also, she said, her husband had proposed to her in front of a “big fancy” sculpture in 1992 — the year the Super Bowl was at the Metrodome — so it brought back good memories to poke around the park in single-digit temps.
