In the article you say " The 40-year average ice coverage each winter is about 51% and recently it has been only 40% or less. However, after the recent record-shattering blasts in late February and early March Arctic blast during one of the persistently coldest winters in decades, the Great Lakes are approaching a record. Since record keeping began in 1973, only February 1979 (94.7 percent peak) had greater ice coverage." But you do not tell us what the spring/summer was like in 1979? Could it indicate what our current spring/summer will bring? Great article, thank you.
