The relatively warmer temperatures and sunshine of the last several days have caused areas of ice that had been affixed to the western shore of Lake Michigan off the Racine and Kenosha areas to break away from the shore.
The blustery west winds on Tuesday have carried these floating ice "bergs" several miles away from shore.
Here is a high resolution visible satellite image from 102 pm CDT from March 10th.

No, typically last week was a safe time to plant tomatoes.

Bush’s fault. Hey, these ice “calves” are going to melt and make Lake Michigan overflow its shores. ;’)
I know what you mean. We have had so many Santana wind days here in LA. that it's been hard to sail my yacht.
The worst part is it's often warm and balmy but the winds are blowing the wrong way making it a longer slog back from Catalina Island.
Oh we'll hang in there and we will get through this hell soon Freeper.

Heads up Saugatuck - INCOMING!!
Never to early to set out iceburg lettuce.
Our yacht has been docked permanently in Ventura lately. Everytime I plan a trip they start talking about snow on the Grapevine. Darn global warming.
When Al Gore's global warming hits and my "neighborhood" is enjoying the wonderful breezes in the middle of winter, I shall think of you in what will then be the desert (LA) and simply smile.
Cheers....ig
When that happens IG, you'll get to shake hands with Wisconsin's newest resident. Then we can form a militia to keep the other LA. riff raff out.

I cries for the polar bears this will strand. :(
Mama always said...when life hands you ice bergs, chip off a chunk and pass the Scotch!
Thanks for the ping. Wish I had reason to go down to the lakeshore (about a 1.5 hour drive) but alas, I do not.
LOL! Very cute. :)
i listened for a few minutes to the “forecast earth” (i think) the program on the “weather channel” where they continue to put forth the sham of global warming
the program was about the prospect of napa valley losing their wine industry to “global warming” and how it would have to relocate northward to oregon and what some of the growers were doing to combat this global warming
shut it off, rarely look at TWC anymore
“What is your break up guess?”
When I was a kid the local tavarn up at our cabin would park an old car out on the ice and there would be the lottery to pick the date when it would drop through. I imagine every lake with a bar on it did this.
Something tells me they don’t get by with such things now-a-days!
Did Al Gore not also flunk “Divinity School?” If Al Gore does not have a disordered mind, then his followers certainly do!
Probably not, he must have passed something, because, after all, he DID invent the Internet. lol
It’s 84 here on Maui. Got all the way down to 69 last night. (smile)
I remember a trip from Oklahoma to SC I took in the late 80’s I believe and we crossed the Mississippi river at Memphis. The river was almost clogged with ice. Damndest thing I ever saw. That would be about in the middle of the great warming trend we’re supposed to be in now.
