Last winter Lake Michigan wasn’t completely ice free until sometime in June I believe.

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.

And now they're trying to say the summer of 2014 was one of the hottest on record !! If I remember correctly, we had the central air on about 50% of last summer.
