Great Lakes Ice Cover spreading rapidly despite global warming.

#10  I think I see the problem here. Some Americans are just hanging onto more than their fair share of the snow and ice and cold. We can redress this injustice if we can just find the courage and political resolve to face the facts and build a bazillion dollar network of pipelines to ship slush back up to the Arctic Ocean.

Global warming is always to blame:
Climate change is a zero-sum game.
So what we've got to do
Is to take snow from you,
And go spread it around whence it came.

#9  Any more snow, I will excavate my wheel barrow and bring it into the front yard along with some plywood to make a ramp, so I can move new snow over my snow berms. Either that, or I hire a front end loader.

#8  A friend came over with his very large snow-blower and cleared another two feet into the lawn either side of our drive so we'd have more space for clearing the next snowfalls in the forecast.

Hopefully it's enough. We're already piled 2+ feet above our mailbox at the roadside.

#6  a good primary data source is the Canadian Ice service - site is here

as of today the ice cover is probably over 80% and Lake Michigan is probably going to be almost solid ice cover by next Saturday night

notwithstanding that, there are parts of the NHemisphere that have significantly less sea ice than usual (near AK and near Greenland)

#5  And yet there are still many on the left who are still adamant it is "global warming" or its newly morphed all-encompassing kin "climate change."

#3  Ditto here in suburban Chicago. The snow at the end of the driveway is now above the mailbox.

#2  I believe it. The story matches the huge piles of snow I've created at the sides & end of my driveway. My town looks like the Great White North.
