I agree, and it does so quitter often. Note, however, that the map says it's only "90 to 99%" frozen over, a shade of gray. That's the point, NOAA has moved the goal posts on what's frozen over this year.

Most people don't realize that when the big lakes freeze they generally don't freeze over solidly. The wind blowing the ice around keeps much of it broken up. They're still largely covered with ice but its in the form of floes.
