1) It can happen with SALT WATER

2) You are the one talking about water temp. All the rest of us were talking that moisture temp != correlate to air temp with respect to ice/snow

Bah. The lakes have always been cyclical. There is a definite problem with some lake levels, but that can mostly be attributed to our friends at the Army Core of Engineers fucking around with the channel depths, and the amount that's being pulled for sanitation, irritation, and sale.

As opposed to the Army Periphery of Engineers?

Water does not have to "below freezing" for the ice to exist. Water temp is above 40, so its melting, but its cooler than usual so its taking longer

Is it the new Godwin's law that any online discussion regarding unusually warm or cool termperatures must turn immediately to climate change?

I definitely use it as a litmus test to determine if someone is going to add anything to a conversation. Guess what correlation I noticed? :p

That was surface ice 2 weeks ago in Michigan. This is now near Madeline Island in Wisconsin. They are at about the same latitude in southern Lake Superior.

These are actual icebergs as the picture in the article shows. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/06/07/dnr-warden-spots-icebergs-on-lake-superior/
