Two more very cold arctic blasts are going to hit Michigan this week. Conditions may be right late in the week for rapid ice making on the Great Lakes.
This makes me think we could make a run at record ice cover on the Great Lakes by this coming weekend.
As of Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015, the total Great Lakes ice cover was 84.4 percent. Record total ice cover on the Great Lakes is 94.7 percent, set in 1979.

‘GAIA’ solar-powered wraps should be big this Holiday Season.
Nye kind of looks like Otzi the ice guy .
Obviously a link between global warming and ice coverage. If it hits 100 degrees, we should have year round solid ice in the lakes.
In late January 1994 I flew over Lakes Michigan, Superior and Huron which were all almost 100% frozen. At a fairly low altitude in a prop plane. It was a clear sunny day and incredibly beautiful.
I am working in Chicago, here!
This cold crap just sucks! I even brought my cold weather gear I used in Toronto last Winter and it is like wearing freakin’ paper!
I wonder if it will soon be possible to cross one of the Great Lakes into Canada via snowmobile.
Global Warming ping!
Yes, but who'd want to?
lol
Imagine how cold it would be without all the Global Warming?
and,.....
Previous record low temperatures were shattered in many Michigan cities this morning.
In fact one Michigan city was only five degrees warmer than the North Pole this morning. Roscommon, MI dropped to -39° this morning. At the same time the North Pole was -44°.
At 8 a.m. this morning, the coldest temperatures were almost 40 below zero, and the warmest temperature was 2 degrees. But the average temperature for the entire state of Michigan at 8 a.m. was 18.5 degrees below zero, according to statistics derived by weatherbell.com. That makes Michigan easily the coldest state in the country this morning.
Here are some low temperatures in our area:
Detroit -12° New record
Flint -25° New record
Saginaw/Bay City -15° New record
Lansing -16°
Ann Arbor -30° Unverified, but likely new record
Grand Rapids -13° Tied old record
Muskegon -9°
Kalamazoo -15° New record
Jackson -19° New record
The coldest locations were Roscommon at -39° and Leota in Clare County at -37°.
...That's what passes for Science these days...
Newton must be spinning like a lathe!
\o/ , the ice houses will remain full all summer long ,ice boxes will make a come back
For well over a decade now, climate alarmists have been claiming that snow would soon become a thing of the past. In March 2000, for example, “senior research scientist” David Viner, working at the time for the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, told the U.K. Independent that within “a few years,” snowfall would become “a very rare and exciting event” in Britain. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he was quoted as claiming in the article, headlined “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.”
...Neither does nayone else...
^anyone
That Temp Listing is why I like ARIZONA.
2015 will be Warmest year on record! After appropriate adjustments of course.
Soviet Red Hampshire is about to wrap up the COLDEST winter in state history...LOL! Only twenty-nine more nasty winters to go!
Well, the global warming cult are saying this is turning out to be one of the warmest winters on record.
I recall articles on how the ski industry was doomed.
