The first sightings of ice on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes overall usually occur during the beginning to middle of December. However, a perfect combination of last season's record ice coverage, cooler summer temperatures, and an early blast of arctic air this fall has allowed for areas of ice to form earlier than normal for the second year in a row.
I guess we don't have to worry about the arctic being ice free, if even Lake Superior isn't.
Ice at Ashland, Wisconsin.
Remember, we're no longer fighting global warming with your tax dollars. Neither are we fighting climate change. It's all about "climate disruption" now, and the US Military has taken that on as a Tier 1 responsibility along with many other government agencies.
