Our weather has been adjusting too, with these recent events:
Last year ice coverage (area covered) was lowest ever recorded: it will be interesting to see how close this year’s coverages are.
And, according to WMU, since October 11 we have had roughly 6 inches of snow, with slightly more than 33 the average seasonal norm. The forecast is for temps in the 50s with rain the next couple days. Definitely not typical January weather.

Tell me there’s no climate change, tell me!
