Lake Ontario is the only major holdout, and the forecast there is for extreme cold during the next two weeks.

Bush’s fault. Damn global warming.
Stupid global warming!
i wonder what makes lake ontario unique? is it the water circulation?
Interesting.
Anybody know who runs the “junk science” ping list these days?
You got it wrong... It’s: thank God for global warming! (Can you imagine how cold it would be if we didn’t have it?)
Well the good news is it kills off the “fetch” and thus the lake effect snow, LOL.
Lake Ontario is the second deepest lake, and it benefits from the warmth from the upstream lakes. It is also further south, and far enough east to have large nor’easters break up the ice on occasion.
Well it has nothing to do with global warming because mac daddy said so - oh wait his lips were moving, never mind.
thanks. visited toronto recently, apparently in the 1800’s there were times you could cross the lake to the USA.
also, i was surprised to read that the great lakes are only 10,000 years old, that makes them pretty recent
Saw some beautiful video of Niagara Falls on TV.
The ice is incredible.
This is all due to the one entity who affects the climate more than anyone else, Mother Nature.
Lake Ontario is very deep, I think second only to Lake Superior and Lake Erie is the shallowest. Erie freezes over almost every winter.
Depth is part of it. Superior is deeper but Ontario is further south. Erie is furthest south but is shallowest.
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below, Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered
Sorry, That is Obligatory, it my favorite song of all time though. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw&feature=kp
It truly is beautiful in the winter when the trees all turn white from the mist and the lower river freezes over. They used to have people walking around on the river back in the old days but it is verboten nowadays. Good thing too. Very dangerous as the ice can move and crack at any time.
Global Warming guru Algore – wearing his ever present Nobel medal – is seen here en-route to an important “scientific” conference in Nassau hosted by the UN/IPCC where he was to be the keynote speaker.
Topics on the agenda were to have included “Finding a Good Bail Bondsman,” “Not ALL Criminal Lawyers Are Sharks,” “Changing Careers for Dummies,” “You Want Fries With That?,” “How To Encrypt Emails,” “The Best Prison Jobs,” “Getting Along With Your Cellmate” and “Getting Used to Sleeping On Your Back.”
A sudden – and unfortunate – blast of what the “scientist” in charge of the conference termed “global warming” caused the meeting to be rescheduled until Algore can be thawed some time next Spring – assuming there will BE one.
Our reporter has learned that the influential conservative web site Free Republic has launched a contribution drive to rent a freezer locker in which to keep Gore for the 10 to 15 years estimated it will take for the so-called “mainstream media” to begin covering the Climategate story.
No..because only one in five great lakes still believe in global warming
Lake Ontario is the lone one that still believes the man made global warming delusion
Although Lake Ontario is the smallest of the lakes in surface area, it’s relative volume is very high:
Lake Surface Area Volume

Lake Superior 82,100 km2 (31,700 sq mi) 11,600 km3 (2,800 cu mi)
Lake Ontario 18,960 km2 (7,320 sq mi) 1,710 km3 (410 cu mi)
Lake Huron 59,600 km2 (23,000 sq mi) 3,540 km3 (850 cu mi)
Lake Michigan 58,000 km2 (22,000 sq mi) 4,920 km3 (1,180 cu mi)
Lake Superior 82,100 km2 (31,700 sq mi) 11,600 km3 (2,800 cu mi)
