Lake Superior is almost frozen over as of yesterday February 5, 2014. Lake Superior is 92 percent covered with ice now. The lake is 92 percent frozen, toppling a 20-year-old record of 91 percent set on Feb. 5, 1994. That statistic helped total Great Lakes ice cover soar, and we can expect to see more form in coming days.

Anyone seen Al Gore? He might want to revise his predictions.

Are you definitively saying that 'The Lake', meaning 'Lake Superior', is 92% covered over with ice?

I just want to be absolutely sure.

Interesting, do they figure that out with satallite imaging ? How much area is the 1 % difference ?
Are they able to figure out how thick the ice is as well ?

Ya it's been a strange winter. Even our pool is frozen over about 2" thick. And we're in Texas for gosh sakes!

That could have something we all subzero temps this Winter.

Impressive local effect, but I don't think this changes the global picture at all.

Tell what's his name, the big mouth American internet inverter that ran for president and lost. He's always chirping about global warming.

That would be Al Gore, mentioned by name on the original post.
