Seems like every cold winter some idiots drive out on Lake Erie to go ice fishing when a mile long slab of ice breaks off and heads for Canada. The Coast Guard rescues the people, but the cars go to the bottom of the lake when it thaws.

I have said since I was a lad that Feb is the worst bit of winter.

In Minnysoter they park one on the ice and bet on when it will go though during the thaw.
It’s a Frostbite Falls thing. LOL

Its funny how quickly we get acclimated to the weather. I was wandering the yard today without my coat and it was only about 15 degrees. A month ago that would have sent me running for the house fast.

I never made it. Hawkbill went there the year I got out of service and again in 99.

I call the Niagara Escarpment the great wall of Michigan.

2 weeks ago we had 15 below and everything was closed for 2 days. Today we had 15 below and there was hardly a mention of it. A slight exaggeration but not much.

The ice cover on the largest freshwater lake in the world hit a 20-year record of 91 percent on Feb. 5, 1994.Not the largest by volume - number 3.

I believe the Discovery Channel did a show on how the Great Lakes formed; they clearly showed how the Escarpment created a ring in which Michigan, Huron and Erie formed.

Yeah the basement rocks under Michigan almost look like a crater but they’re sedimentary dolostone. Lake Superior and Ontario are unrelated. Both are ancient dead rift valleys.

GorBullWarming brings on some of the BEST ice fishing you could ever imagine.
I remember that back in the ‘60’s, when Erie was SO POLLUTED it COULDN’T freeze over. Paint on boats blistered. Boats made of fiberglass started to dissolve.
In the middle ‘60’s, the lake was declared DEAD!
But then, one year it did in fact freeze over. And people gained a renewed interest.
Then, in the years of the darkest days of Lake Erie all the industries along its shores, agreed to clean the lake up, and it went from a “dead zone” to an alive lake.
Folks were able to ice skate on it big time. And with renewed interest and help from the corporations that lived along its banks, the lake came back.
The past is a pointer to your future.

It's probably not water ice. It's probably frozen CO2. There's so much of the stuff it's piling up everywhere.

Hey, can we get one of those money shots of the polar bear standing all alone on a little tiny ice rock, at first the tight shot but then panning out to show no other ice anywhere, with the crescendo of acoustic effeminate strings and horns wringing the tears out of our eyes?
No? Can't find the shot? Well, let's check the vault.
