Lake Superior Ice Coverage

March 3, 2009

According NOAA's National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office due to the recent cold spell
and below normal temperatures for much of the winter of 2008-2009, ice covers nearly all of
Lake Superior. Only small areas of open water remain. This image was taken on Tuesday, March 3rd.
If arctic air does not return in the next couple of weeks, it is likely that this will be the day of
maximum ice cover on Lake Superior for this winter as warmer weather and periods of stronger
winds through the end of this week will cause open water areas to expand.
