The current ice cover on Lake Superior is the highest amount ever for February 5. In 1994, Lake Superior was reportedly 91 percent covered in ice.

It is going to be close, but we may be living in a historic winter with regards to amount of Great Lakes ice.

The ice fishermen here are having to get extenders put on their hole driller thingys. Even then, the ice on the sloughs is almost too thick to get through.
Today it was 13 degrees for a high...it felt like summer compared to some of the days we have had.

And in San Diago roller bladers in shorts are skating past the palm trees, earbuds in place and enjoying a favorite ice cream treat.
Weather is most interesting to those reporting the local conditions.
Otherwise….not so much.

To you perhaps, wonk.

Personally, I like hearing about the weather there in the midwest. Also on the other coast, and in the south. In other countries as well. I've lived in many places around this beautiful world we live in, and I still get interested in some of the things that go on. Including the weather.
Other people, like you, maybe not so much. & that's ok.
I don't read things here, or elsewhere, that don't interest me. Why would I? Why would you or anyone??

And knowing all this (these things) we as individual folks should do exactly what?

Something I hope! Seems a real waste to only sit around a piss and moan about it.
Me? I decided not to install that Olympic size swimming pool and water my (outsized lawn) only four times a day. (And my wife could drink less water, God knows).

You?

Yeah, I didn't think so. But thanks for the news I already knew about and as concerned (I'd guess) as you.

(Is is becoming clear I'm one of your harshest critics? I guess. Still, Ill' will try to remain civil and share common stuff when it crops up)

So what the hell are you doing up so early on he Sabbath? (Somebody's Sabbath)
Go back to bed and see if you can get lucky. In your case that means breaking wind to the point of relief.

So yeah… I gave BZ some crap about the cold. I was in a bad mood, okay? So shoot me, ban me, take away my dipping snuff. It's not like I called her nasty names of something.

It was only mild a offhand comment and so you and our dog Lola can bark at the moon and leave my wrinkled old butt alone.

There. I feel better already.

A river of ice in Greenland has become the fastest-flowing glacier currently known in the world, a study suggests.

In summer, the Jakobshavn Glacier - widely thought to have spawned the iceberg that sank the Titanic - is moving about four times faster than it was in the 1990s.
