Hottest winter on record...With back to back ice cover exceeding 80% on the Great Lakes for the 1st time since the 70’s...
I think last winter was more ice
I know for sure in TC last winter was colder and much more snow and ice lasted on the lake longer 5-6 weeks longer
I was there 3 weeks ago when the ice just moved off the shore and broke up and the shore parallel channel was clear
I was on front street east bay at my condo on the beach
I drank coffee and made calls around 830-9
Took a shower went out front watched all the road construction there and walked back in and the ice that had gone from the beach out several 100 yards
Gone more or less
Out to sea
I’m unfamiliar with such things
No hurricanes and twisters and cotton mouths
I’m an authority
The claim hottest winter on record is based solely on the warm spot out in the eastern Pacific. That has formed in part by the high pressure ridge that developed during the winter. That high pressure ridge blocked air currents over the Pacific that would have cooled the water. The ridge was formed by the jet stream pattern that developed over north America. That pattern caused the cold winter in the north east. Physics is null sum game. It if was cold somewhere, it had to be hot some where else. The way the null game was basterdized by the oligarchial fascists is known as data tampering. Thus the hottest winter on record.

And the water where the wreck is located is still 38 degrees F.
