Several stunning images captured by a Minnesota photographer illustrate just how cold it is at Lake Superior.
The pictures taken by Andrew Krueger showed large sheets of ice piled up along the shore as temperatures remained below freezing this week.
Scientists from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory said ice coverage was at its highest percentage in 35 years, according to USA Today.
“Persistent cold temperatures in the Midwest this winter have almost completely frozen over many of the Great Lakes,” the lab reportedly said in a press release.

We will never see this on the Potomac. Those DC pols will steal all the ice for their free booze.

More like they’s spend 3 trillion on custom underground heating to ‘prove’ that while the rest of the planet freezes, GW is the cause of the balmy temps in DC...then stick a thermometer in the ground to prove it.

Then Bastardi is wrong. Superior has frozen over (100%) before.

Joe Bastardi was talking about the total ice cover of all the lakes combined.

Exactly.
Everybody talks about fleeing south in a societal collapse but I’m staying right here and might even head further north.

I don’t know about 35 years ago, but Lake Superior froze over the winter of 2008-2009. Photos like these of Lake Superior ice are a staple of Minnesota winter tourism promotions. Are they even from this year?

We’ve had a total of some 87 inches across southern Michigan this winter. We had temperatures up near 50 yesterday but it didn’t melt enough to matter much. On the other hand melting slow is good too.

notice that Lakes Seneca and Cayuga, the two smaller lakes at bottom right, are NOT frozen over...
Seneca has only frozen over twice in recorded history due to it being over 700' deep

I'm not sure why they and Ontario don't freeze over but its more than depth alone.

it's prolly a combination of depth and narrow width that keeps the water moving while they drain into the the canal

Well obviously the polar vortex caused by global warming caused this. You deniers need to just leave the planet. Cuz...yea see? If you stopped polluting then there would be no global warming and so there would be no ice on the shores and freezing. Cuz...Squirell! Sadly, it's worse than that. The true believers say that humans are a cancer on the planet, and the only way to fully heal gaia is for us to be completely extinguished.

Lake Baikal in Russia is over a mile deep. They used to lay train tracks across the ice in winter.
