It’s June and Lake Superior is still full of ice
Summer is finally here — except at Lake Superior.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced last Saturday that all of the Great Lakes were finally ice-free — breaking an unprecedented seven-month streak of ice coverage. Typically, ice on the lakes melts by the first week of May; thanks to the polar vortex, it lasted well past Memorial Day this year.
