report that they’ve seen a steady decrease in ice coverage across the Great Lakes, which has reached a historic low. Lakes Erie and Ontario are basically at – or tied with – their individual historic lows for the date, making both essentially ice-free.
Lake Michigan just north of Muskegon on February 11, 2024. Although chunks of ice dot the sandy beach, there is little-to-no ice coverage on the lake. Often in February ice would be many inches thick at this same location and the waves would be well off shore.

The absence of ice can also make the shoreline more susceptible to erosion and increase the potential for damage to coastal infrastructure during the winter months due to high winds and waves. Thick ice often acts to dampen the large wave action and protect the shoreline. Lack of ice cover can also increase lake effect snow.
