From the bridge of the Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw, northern Lake Huron looks like a vast, snow-covered field dotted with ice slabs as big as boulders - a battleground for the icebreaker's 58-member crew during one of the roughest winters in memory...
As of Thursday, ice cover extended across 88 percent,...
At Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin, the rock-solid cover has allowed around 35,000 visitors to trudge miles over Lake Superior to explore caves featuring dazzling ice formations. It's the first time in five years the lake surface has been firm enough to allow passage....
Coast Guard icebreaker teams, it's all business. They've logged four times more hours this season than the average for the same period in recent years...

Weather is not climate...
Unless it supports the "consensus" narrative.

It’s never frozen 100% on recorded history. I wonder if it can make it this year.

I hope we negotiate with glaciers better than we negotiate with terrorists. The way it’s going, we’re going to need to pass a UN resolution to keep ice out of the US.

I heard an climate 'expert' on the radio yesterday. I came in late so I didn't get his name (it was a CBS affiliate). He went into great technical detail as to why we have cold weather (and, yes, it was due to global warming). At the end he proclaim that in the future we can expect either mild or harsh winters. What other kind of winter is there?

Lakes that were created by massive glaciers freezing over?
Whoda thunkit?
To: MNDude
Its never frozen 100% on recorded history. "recorded history" being the key point there. At one time, the "great lakes" were actually a few miles thick ice sheet that extended almost to present day Kentucky.

Which always is my answer to the global warming folks - "these same people tell us where we are right now was once covered in a few miles of ice. Yes, I am pretty sure there is global warming."
