March came in like an icy lion on both of Wisconsin’s Great Lakes. With spring less than three weeks away, Lake Michigan still has about 85 percent of its surface covered with ice — more than in mid-February.
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory says about 95 percent of Lake Superior remains frozen over — just a little lower than the previous week.
This is the iciest winter on the Great Lakes since 1994, when 94 percent of the world’s largest fresh-water system was covered.
