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

Well, for one, there is a HUMONDO nuclear power plant on the north edge SE of Toronto.

IIRC, there is another smaller one east of Rochester on the American side.

There were people from my hometown that used to walk across Lake Michigan to Beaver Island, about 25+ miles across the ice back in the 60s and 70s. It looks like you could do it again this year....

Across the Ice

What a bunch of nonsense at that site.

Especially the comments.

We’re having weather this year.

Weather ain’t climate.

Are you thinking of Nine Mile, north of Syracuse? Cause yeah, that is technically east of Rochester, but so is Vermont.....

Well, I’m flabbergasted.

Never heard of it before and I’ve been a CNY/WNY just about my entire life.

I’m a geezer now but was born in Rochester and lived the first 20 years in Livingston county.

I recall vaguely there was controversy when it was planned and constructed.

Not only Lake Michigan, but also the channels (where the rivers meet the Lake) have been frozen over. Not that walking out on the river ice is a good idea of course...

Question for the scientists on this thread:

Will the frozen Great Lakes impact local weather for Spring and Summer? Will the effects only be to the east of any given frozen Lake?

I am about 300 miles south of Superior and to the west of Lake Michigan. This is within the colder than normal area on the maps above. Our extended forecast is a cold to cooler March, April, May. We have 7 feet of frost in the ground, as well. Is there a formula for frost coming out of the ground relative to air temperatures?

Thanks in advance.

Air density between 16 and 32 km is 90 % less. It does not have the mass or energy to displace the sea level air. What is happening is the poles are cooling. That is verified by recent record ice coverage at the poles. Thus the polar vortex is starting to expand. Its normal or average path for the returning glacier age might be determined by the extant of the glaciation sheets.

More ice means the waters will not warm as quickly from the summer sunlight. Saw an estimate that just when the ice is supposed to be mostly melted this summer, it will be time again to build ice. And that was at about 80-90 % coverage. At 100 % coverage it may never fully thaw this summer. That should mean less rain for the east, but we have some other complicating factors right now driving more rain overall.

One thing is for sure, the summer swimming season will be exceptionally brief.

Thanks for the ping. I think.:-)

Previous years the horse trough would thaw several times during the winter. This is the first year in about 16 that it hasn't at all.

Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest songwriters and performers of the 20th century imo. Vastly underrated. Even my kids love listening to him. Great artists are naturals at their work.
