Since the start of our current warm spell, the bay has thawed, and the ice on Lake Erie continues to melt away.
Here is a satellite image of the eastern portions of the lake ice from Sunday, April 6th.
The ice is the areas of "white" in the lake. You can see that there is still some good ice cover to the far eastern sections of the lake.
Out toward Cleveland, the ice is pretty much gone. The area of "white" to the west of Cleveland is a cloud. Sometimes, they get in the way!
