Michigan's endless winter: Yes, there's still ice on Lake Superior

Huge chunks of ice remain near Marquette on Sunday, June 1, 2014. / National Weather Service 
I’m going to keep writing about this until the last cube of ice is melted (if that happens). Unimaginably, there’s still ice from the savage winter of 2013-14 on the south shore of Lake Superior near Marquette.
The Marquette Mining-Journal newspaper reports that according to some forecasts, the ice may last until July: “To many area residents who suffered through one of the worst winters on record for the area, seeing the ice chunks on the lake every day is a continuing reminder of that wintry grip of Mother Nature, which still has yet to completely loosen,” the paper noted on its website.

  2. I don't think it is Mother Nature that has done this but rather Father Manipulation of the U.S. weather patterns. There is lots of info on this and if you check the radar carefully on certain websites, you can see the radar pulses in certain areas where no rain is to be had as the currents from west to east progress they go around these areas creating man made fronts.
