We finally got a great look at the freezing Great Lakes in the last two days.
The high resolution satellites give us images of the Great Lakes during the day, once a day. Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015, Michigan had clear skies when the satellite took the latest pictures. So it yielded the best look from high in space so far this winter.
Friday's sunny sky also was a great day for MLive photographers to take to the sky and give us an up-close look at ice on Lakes Huron and Michigan.
With the very cold weather Friday and Saturday, the ice continues to grow on the Great Lakes.
As of Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015, here are the latest ice totals: Entire Great Lakes - 89 percent Lake Superior - 95 percent Lake Huron - 96 percent Lake Erie - 96 percent Lake Michigan - 73 percent Lake Ontario - 70 percent.
Ice should continue to increase on the Great Lakes this week with temperatures mostly well below freezing. 94.7 percent total ice cover is the current record.
Blasphemy!
Or Climate Change to use today's vernacular.
Wow, how long will it take to melt once the seasons change?
That’s the USS Edson BTW.
Amazing.
Some places have always just been just plain cold. The locals in northern Minnesota always have said that summer is the last two weeks in July. And, they are correct.
Last winter Lake Michigan wasn’t completely ice free until sometime in June I believe.

Gearing class bath iron works?

USS Edson (DD-946) was a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer of the United States Navy, built by Bath Iron Works in Maine in 1958.

If something isn’t done about Glo-Bull warming, we’re all going to die!
Love the fishin’ shanties out on the ice.
That’s right where I usually cruise by in my boat!
In Marquette, MI for Memorial day weekend last year and the ice chunks were a floating around where the boats were supposed to be in the slips. look off over the Lake and could see the Ice Bergs in the Water.
hey in january and February last year I was in St. Ignace and the snowmobilers were transporting lumber across the frozen Mackinac straits to Mackinac Island where they were building a new hotel. The trail was marked with Christmas trees to allow for safe travel. I thought it was pretty cool. I will be in St. Ignace again on March 16, will remember the camera
No kidding. I just finished blowing about 7” of globull warming off my driveway and sidewalk, and it’s still coming down.
Damn you Algore!
That's right. And we had practically no spring and a very short summer - the trees didn't bud until late May, and then the leaves started turning early in September.
Thanks cripplecreek, extra to APoD, because THIS is my idea of an appropriate terrestrial shot!
