"The cargo shipping season started last month on the upper Great Lakes." Uh, apparently not.

That's 2 years in a row with a late start on great lakes shipping.

The man-caused global warming was so thick you could cut it with a chain saw.

The real question is where do they stand on gay marriage.

I got into an argument with some Leftist idiot on Facebook about global warming last night. I asked him what the Earth’s ideal temperature was. He wouldn’t answer the question and still insisted that global warming was real. I shot back by asking him global warming compared to what global temperature standard. Never heard a peep out of him after that.

There is still ice there in mid April...because the Earth is on fire.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

“Warmest Winter EVER” strikes again.

March 27 in Duluh and the ships were docked along the docks in Superior, Wis, they were ice locked-. In Marquette, Mi on April 7, from US 41 the horizon to the East, could see the ice line, west of the line open water with ice chunks floating.

Lake Superior has had late shipping starts the last three years! 2012 was the year of the warm spring. 2013 and 2014 had extremely late springs with snowfalls into May.

This year was very cold in November and in February, with a bit milder temps in December and January. I live in Minnesota, but in all the states east of here from Wisconsin to New England, the temps have been far below average. So, the ice build-up on the Great Lakes was extraordinary according to records.
