Great Lakes ice is now running ahead of last year and ice will increase with more brutal cold coming, says meteorologist Joe dAleo. We are likely to have the most ice since records began.
By the end of February the entire country east of the Rockies will have averaged below normal, says dAleo. Boston will have either the coldest or second coldest month in their history. It is nearly 13F below normal in Cleveland and all points east for February. Boston has the second most snow for the season and is very likely to be the snowiest ever by the end of the winter. They blew away the all time monthly snow record by 18 inches and could end up with 6 feet if models are right in 1 month. Ice has clogged Delaware Bay and New York and Boston Harbors.
Ice is seen as far south as off the New Jersey Coast and will likely clog Boston and New York Harbor in the brutal cold of the next 10 days. Freezing spray warnings are in effect in the waters around NYC this morning.

Thanks to Joe dAleo for this info
There must be a global warming conference at U of M or somewhere else in the region.
Years ago, US Steel’s Great Lakes Fleet operation believed their boats could run the lakes year round. The repairs were in the millions...
Funny thing is that 2012 was the year we hardly had a winter (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
Will Great Lakes Ice Coverage Beat or Tie Last Years Winter Or The Record? [VANITY]

Today total coverage is at 84%. I’m betting it’ll break the 94.7% record.
Canada Ping!
I see there is currently an ore carrier stranded in lake Erie.
Thursday in Denver I was walking around in a tee shirt. Today I am shoveling 6” of global warming off the driveway with more expected. 29 degrees F. It has been a mild winter here.
can't a guy ever catch a break?
So flooding this spring?
Tell us more about it.
I'd like to see him catch a break. How about both femurs and his neck.
This is more evidence of catastrophic global warming. As the heat builds up, coldness gets concentrated into smaller areas and the heat moves to hotter areas, and causes the oceans to rise, or something like that. It makes perfect sense.
Meanwhile, some years ago, the snows were disappearing from Kilamanjaro, and that was some sort of milestone in the warming of the world. They pretty much don’t talk about that any more. I wonder why....
\o/ , the Ice houses will be full all sumer long ,WOOT
” It is nearly 13F below normal in Cleveland”
Second day with no water. I think the service line to the house is frozen. Not buried deep enough.
A new baseline. So when they have less ice next year, it will be clear evidence of catastrophic global warming.
BTW the stuck ship is the Arthur Anderson which was trailing the Edmund Fitzgerald the night it went down.
