Furthermore, ice coverage is becoming less reliable, with more frequent years of extremely low ice coverage. Based upon ice coverage charts from the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Ann Arbor, ice cover on the five Great Lakes peaked at an average of 47% this winter (with shallow Lake Erie skewing the numbers upward with its 80% ice coverage…the other four Great Lakes all peaked at or below 50% ice cover). This compares to an average ice cover for all five lakes of 53% in the 1973-2020 time period. AdMore information: Great Lakes Ice Coverage is ShrinkingRelated:

Video posted by the Indiana Dunes State Park shows some incredible ice formations on Lake Michigan. “Similar to building a snowman, Lake Michigan’s waves did all this work this weekend to make these boulders from ice sheets and the slushy snow we had. As the waves breaks off pieces of the ice sheets along the shore, the chunks fall off into the water. The waves then roll these ice chunks over and over again smoothing and shaping them into spheres,” the state park said in their Facebook post. The temperature and the size of the waves determine whether ice balls can grow and the results can range from ping pong ball-sized to these large boulders.”Check out the video in the player above.
