[QUOTE] Last Saturday was a day for the record books on Lake Michigan. Ice covered 93.29 percent of the lake on March 8, eclipsing a record of 93.1 percent set in 1977. Researchers with NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory began logging data in 1973. Ice concentration is measured daily. The new number for the record books followed a dramatic leap in seven days from just 30 percent ice cover to 90 percent on March 2.

that first picture looks like a dog dick [editline]11th March 2014[/editline] it's even spewing out at the top
Should be warming up soon.
I went up to South Haven a day or two ago, the entire lake was ice for hundreds of feet out into the water. I didn't try walking on it though, I don't know how thick the ice is and don't want to find out the hard way.
[QUOTE=frozensoda;44209063]Should be warming up soon.[/QUOTE] Keep telling yourself that.
South Haven was god awful. I visited my grandparents a couple weekends ago and it was just... completely frozen over. Like. I walked out forever from shore. I'm really bad at distance so don't ask me that. When I heard the ice crack, I felt my heart sink into the pit of my stomach. I've never been so fucking scared in my life before. I took one more step forward and THOUGHT I heard the ice crack (I may not have. I'm known for hearing things that don't actually happen) and I almost shit myself and walked very, very, very, very slowly back to shore.
Meanwhile, in California... [IMG]http://www.thenation.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/main_node_view_image/sun_drought_rtr_img_0.jpg[/IMG]
