More than 4,700 square miles of ice formed over the Great Lakes in just one night on Tuesday.
The Arctic blast that swept the Midwest and Northeast saw a near-record amount of Lake Ontario was iced over, with just 20 per cent of open water left.
Overall 82 percent of the five water bodies sealed up.
Temperatures are expected to drop again on Thursday night, leading forecasters to predict that figure to climb significantly by Friday morning.

Lol - you want our beer? For every case of beer, we throw in a liberal.
We'll take all their beer first.
BACON!
Don't forget their Canadian Bacon!
I will say a special prayer for that little boy, his parents, and grandmother. I always had two fears for my son when he was that age: drowning in the bathtub and getting out on a cold night and freezing to death. He is now 19
and I worry about other things.
Good post. You should read “A Pail of AIr” by Harry Turtledove.
LOL, just hang an FR flag in your window and we won’t pillage your fridge :-)
Canadian Beer is tooo strong for Americans
Don’t tempt them to send Bieber down. (Shudders)

Don’t tell anyone ,but Beer is only good for killing garden Slugs and Snails
Sorry Fritz Lieber not Turtledove.
Well, come up during the summer and I’ll be at the cottage on Lake Erie. I fly Old Glory and I keep lots of good beer in the fridge - y’all can sit on the deck and enjoy one!

I'll be your prisoner-of-war.
Was that the story where the earth was kicked out of orbit by a passing rouge planet? As it sailed into space, further and further from the sun, the atmosphere began to freeze and fall as “snow”
The hero had a room insulated by layers and layers of blankets hung? He had a coal fire and would periodically go get a bucket of air to set next to the fire.
Sounds just a little like the opening pages of Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination.
