Ice coverage on the Great Lakes is nearing 90 percent, reveals high resolution satellites images from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

“Global warming, global cooling, climate change.” No matter what you call it, it’s still nothing but anti-capitalist, communist bull****.
“Global warming, global cooling, climate change.”
Call it what it is... winter.
According to Al Gore, the north pole ice cap was supposed to have disappeared years ago and the water was to have been so warm that you could swim from Canada to Russia wearing nothing but your birthday suit.
After this winter, I think we all could use a little global warming.
Who said it was bad, anyways? I read that a degree or so warming actually helps most climates - to the benefit of mankind.
Didn’t Gore say Manhattan would be underwater by now?
“Weather is not climate... unless it supports the agenda.”
Here’s the latest plot:

It’s actually gone down slightly from yesterday’s 88.8%. What they’re not telling you, though, is that the method of calculating coverage is quite different from the plots we were seeing last year. This year they’re showing areas that were 100% covered last year as being not fully covered this year. This is why there are different shades of gray (50?). I bet that there is more ice than last year if last year’s method were used.
Currently there is freighter stuck on Lake Erie in 6 feet of ice, the SS Anderson. The Bristol Bay was sent to help free the freighter, but it can only break up to 4 feet of ice.

The Arthur M Anderson was the last ship to have contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Just imagine how cold it would be without all the Global Warming?
too bad they can’t turn AlGore’s bulls#it into heat, it’d melt that ice off in a few seconds...
Lake Superior never completely thawed, from LAST winter, did it? There were ice floes WAY late in the season.
Lake Eire has so completely frozen, that even large jet airplanes could use it for an emergency landing field. Not that there would not be a LOT of ‘splainin’ to do with the FAA, but from an engineering standpoint, it is feasible.
Where is the Mighty Mac ?
My old man is a Tin Can Sailor and was on the Warrington (DD-843). I passed that on to him. Thanks for posting it.
