Global Warming models predicted this.

Between the ice cover preventing evaporation, the rainy summer of 2013 and record snowfalls, the lake levels should come up considerably.

From the referenced ice cave article:

Climate change has meant less ice cover on average in recent years (So this year's ice event is normal? Oh wait, it's not normal for Superior to have this much ice... but,... I'm confused. What is the evidence of climate change?)

"If you're out there and there's cracking and popping and you can feel the ice going up and down, it's a good time to go back to the car," (Howk, assistant chief of interpretation for the national lakeshore) said. Spoken like a true professional.

As a caver, it is truly remarkable to see water ice developing in one winter the same formations, complete with colors, that can be seen in the calcite formations in limestone caves formed over eons.

4” of ice will support a car/jeep. Why do i know this? Grew up in upstate NY where it was not odd in the ‘50s-’60s for small lakes (even Ontario...) to have areas frozen enough to get into some fun tow-tubing/sledding.
