Even though there was high ice cover over all the Great Lakes this winter, it was effectively just a short blip. Most of the 2025 Great Lakes have been well below average both before and after mid-February. As a result, the St. Lawrence seaway is opening early. The Soo locks Lake Superior-Huron is opening this Fri Mar 21, and the Welland Canal the next day with the top-hat ceremony, along with Montreal-Lake Ontario. 🚢

It was an adventure for my #Science staff out sampling off the 🇨🇦 #Canadian Coast Guard Ship, Samuel Risley icebreaker last week on Lake Huron. Ice everywhere for sampling water properties, chemistry, phytoplankton and zooplankton during the binational #GreatLakes #WinterGrab. Many lessons learned about the difficulties of ship-based winter #limnology, including frozen sensors and some damaged equipment. However, it was a success due to the support of the crew. #BravoZulu

“(The) Great Lakes is losing ice over the long term,” said Ayumi Fujisaki-Manome, associate research scientist for the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research at the University of Michigan. “We still get high ice in some years, even recently, but if we draw a trend line over the long-term, we do see a decreasing trend.”

“I love this lighthouse. Not only is it perched on a stunning 130- foot cliff, but the buildings themselves are just iconic. I don’t think there is a single bad view of this lighthouse.” - Nicholas Narog
