Ice Thickness Map Michigan. Clear with bluish tint. Version 3 comes with an enhanced sea ice thickness retrieval as well as an improved uncertainty estimation. Slush ice is only half as strong as clear ice and indicates the ice is not freezing from the bottom. Three custom graphics produced in support of USCG District 9.
The Illinoian drift is exposed in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky where it shows leaching to a depth of two to five feet. In each grid cell the volume is calculated as thickness multiplied with. This time of low lake level is know as the Chippewa Phase of ancestral Lake Michigan and the elevation of the lake may have been more than 100 feet lower than today. The predicted maximum seasonal ice cover for each lake is as follows. Your safety is your responsibility. The surface of the bedrock shows evidence of ice erosion.
On the map its evident that ice is beginning to form along the southwestern most corner of Lake Michigan with more dense ice forming around Green Bay and in the northernmost part of the lake.
Moving in on Today. The most recent ice cover forecast updated on Feb 14th 2021 predicted a maximum Great Lakes ice cover of 38. The predicted maximum seasonal ice cover for each lake is as follows. Largemouth northern pike and walleye are also present. In this activity the ice deployed across the district of the Great Lakes westward as far as the Mississippi and southward approximately to the line of the Ohio River. The Illinoian drift is exposed in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky where it shows leaching to a depth of two to five feet.
