Late June: Still some ice on Michigan's Upper Peninsula

The Winter That Will Not End has made it past the first day of summer. A family from Hopkins, Michigan found some on the state's Upper Peninsula.

From MLive.com
They were vacationing near Munising and exploring Grand Island on Tuesday, June 24, when they came across a piece of ice along the shoreline.

It must have managed to evade the sunlight.

"The ice is about 2 1/2 feet thick and looks like it will be there into July," Kirk Blaauw wrote in an email.

Munising is near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The harsh winter left ice on Lake Superior long beyond the time it usually disappears in a normal year.
Ice still around in summer. Isn't this how the Ice Age started?

So much for global warming.
