Ice way above normal in great lakes
2014-02-04
The Great Lakes are under the largest cover of ice in 20 years. The early winter polar vortex that brought in freezing temperatures throughout eastern North America has put an ice cover over about 52 per cent of the Great Lakes.

And that ice cover is expected to continue to expand say scientists, as frigid temperatures keep their grip on the region.
a good source for relatively current ice cover is the Canadian ice service. The article is a few days old I think. By my estimate the cover as of this pm was more like 60% -- also, other parts of the arctic and near arctic are below normal in ice coverage e.g., near the Bering strait and in a part of Baffin bay

#4  Meh-h-h-h.

As per 1960's-70's = 2013 "MAN OF STEEL" Movie + other, wait until the Kiddies discover their psychokinetic Jedi-Sith powers + start melting the frozen lake wid their eyes, flying around, etc.

Personally I blame their frivolity on Obama's alleged Communist mother.

#3  The msm will ignore this years unusual lack of warmth, then next year if things return to average will trumpet how much hotter it was than last year...
Watch.

#2  You guys just don't get it. The fact that we have more ice here, and less ice over there, is more proof of rapid, accelerating, catastrophic, climate change caused by cow digestive gas and other man-made horrors.

I grew up in Chicago, near Lake Michigan, and that's where I learned to be sarcastic.
