Some expect the G Lakes ice coverage this winter to rival that of the 1970s 90% Setting records: http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/great_lakes_ice_cover_setting_records_during_the_winter_of_2013-2014 "Dubé says if the freezing temperatures continue, it is possible that we could challenge the absolute maximum ice coverage experienced since 1973." Global warming . BLAAA ! ! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamil...he-largest-cover-of-ice-in-20-years-1.2513076
Oh ya. We had also thought about going to tip-up town this year as it has been many years since we've gone for it. Seems too many years the ice is not heavy enough to have a good time by all. Puts a damper on things you might say. In addition, my son who lives in PA wanted to treat his wife to a good MI snow carnival and a couple years back they had made plans and reservations ahead. Sadly, then came that warm winter. I told him this year would be a great one for sure. Yup, he knows.
