Lake Michigan and Lake Huron water levels may do something only achieved four times in the last 154 years.
This time of year is normally the season when Great Lakes lake levels begin to fall. Typically evaporation is greater than precipitation and runoff from rivers and streams. So there is normally less water going into Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior at this time of year. On Lakes Michigan-Huron July is typically the high water month. Lake Superior usually sees peak water level in July or August.
This year is different. Lakes Michigan-Huron, and Lake Superior have continued to rise, even up to now.
Lakes Michigan-Huron have risen 3.1 inches since July. Normally those lakes would have dropped 2.8 inches since July. Lake Superior has risen 1.8 inches, while normally dropping 1.2 inches since July.
When we look at the current rise in levels on Lake Michigan-Huron versus the normal fall, we may have just gained almost six inches. In other words, if all of the rest of fall and winter go exactly normal, Lake Michigan-Huron will start next season's water rise six inches higher than last spring. And that's if everything is normal.

Arkansas?
Winter was forever. This is the remnant. No big deal. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.....and will someday happen again.
Wonder if the ground is sinking?
The lack of evaporation is surely evidence of Global Warming, yes? [/s]
The NW Passage emerges,,
The Great Lakes overflow?
Maybe the Vikings made it here along time ago
Ridng icebergs as their ships! Jaaa!
I hope the Vikes chase the Lions around this Sunday and sack them.
I’m going to tell the youngsters about the legend of “Dryland”.
Steamship companies can haul a bit more in each load.
Good, but they missed most of the first month of the season because of all the global warming ice...
LOL ... We’ve been sinking and rising for years on ‘dry land’. What is the worst of worry though is that sinking thingy and runoff of all soil. We need another bunch of asteroids to replenish the soil. Read where there is a plan for that.
The great lakes are sucking up all the water from California.
It’s a conspiracy.
That was a pretty good ice buildup.
Wish we could teleport it to the West.
Ha! California thinks there is “global warming” so Michigan gives them their global warming minus water.
Probably caused by all the glaciers having melted in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other states bordering the great lakes. I can remember summers when I was a child climbing the glaciers around the lake. Some summers we would only have to travel to Oklahoma to start our glacier climbs. I miss the beauty of seeing the glaciers calving into Lake Michigan.
I guess all the predictions of Grandpa Mann are coming true.
Dang that Al Gore and his Global Warming !!!
That is a Great Picture of you! Contact NASA. NASA will help keep you on dry-land. Course you will dealing with certain undesirables intent on knocking you into the water. NASA is not the NASA of our Fathers.
Ouch !
Stupid Glowbull Warming.
