We have felt no real cold or seen any ice this winter, but the situation is quite different in North America : "... according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 88.4% of the Great Lakes' total surface area was covered with ice as of Thursday. According to USA Today, that's approaching the all-time high of 95% ice coverage set in February 1979."
Of course, that 88.4% is for all five lakes, but they each have their own numbers:
— Lake Erie: 95.8%
— Lake Huron: 95.5%
— Lake Superior: 94.6%
— Lake Michigan: 82.3%
— Lake Ontario: 43.4%.
