I'm gonna keep writing about this until the last cube of ice is melted (if that happens). Unimaginably, there's still ice from the savage winter of 2013-14 on the south shore of Lake Superior near Marquette, Mich.
The National Weather Service in Marquette posted this late yesterday, June 1:

The Marquette Mining-Journal newspaper reports that according to some forecasts, the ice may last until July:
"To many area residents who suffered through one of the worst winters on record for the area, seeing the ice chunks on the lake every day is a continuing reminder of that wintry grip of Mother Nature, which still has yet to completely loosen," the paper noted on its website.

That water is usually cold this time of year, but not THIS cold. I was joking when I suggested that the ice would be around until the 4th of July. Maybe not such a joke afterall.
