I’ve been monitoring ice cover on the lakes from January thru April for many years. Here is the website showing ice cover. It’s updated maybe 2x weekly.

I open the website same day every week and save the image. Ice cover has been quite extensive this year, well beyond recent years. As a lakeside resident the high ice coverage in the graph in 2014-2015 looks familiar. It’s been a very cold winter all over NA which includes the Great Lake region so we have lots more ice. For anyone named Watson, this is elementary! I guess CO2 has taken a vacation because it’s not doing its assigned task of trapping heat lately.
