 You didn't expect to post a factoid on Great Lakes hydrology w/o having Government speak up did you?

Actually, Lake Superior seldom freezes all the way accross. It takes a LOT of 'cold' to cool off and freeze that big of a lake. It did freeze over a couple years ago, but it is the exception rather than the rule. (FYI, all 5 lakes have only frozen over twice since records have been kept). If you want ice, head for Lake Erie, that sucker always freezes over (it's shallow w/ comparitively low volume). Also, the first week in March has the greatest ice cover on L Superior, statistically speaking.

What we need is a team of sled dogs... Now THAT would be an 'expedition'!
