Mixed feelings over my hometown bar being open tonight. Be safe Badgers

@MWClimateSci Why couldn’t you have been more stressed, and thus baking and sharing more when we neighbors in Logan, Utah?

[Mark Vinson @superiorliscous]

@LakeSuperior Winter is now officially over in Ashland. Chequamegon Bay ice breakup was 12 days earlier than the 110-year average. Too bad the beaches are closed.

Looks scenic. But here me now and believe me later you’re going to miss our beer, fish frys, corn fields, and pumpkins. And of course our ciscoes.

There was no knowing where the sky ended and the lake began. Our colorful lives had become monochromatic. There was only blue sadness.

[Eddie Verhamme @EddieGreatLakes]

GREAT LAKES: the balance between the water and three sky is fuzzy

@carolineroz24 A compelling story of beautiful fish set in the world's largest and most beautiful lake.
Spoiler alert; fish figured out long ago that dividing up resources, i.e., niche partitioning, makes life better for everyone and enhances biodiversity.
Be the Fish!

@fin__gen @Wes_Larson1 WoooHooo! We're >= thrilled. Can't wait for act II-infinity

@LakeSuperior Not to pressure you, @LakeSuperior, but history says that today is typically the date of maximum ice cover.

@PhilArnold123 @LakeSuperior Less ice results in earlier and thus longer warming period

[Mark Vinson @superiorliscous]

#ValentinesDay Roses are red. Violets are blue. If @LakeSuperior doesn't get more ice. This summer's not going to be nice.

@FrankieJosef @LakeSuperior Less ice results in earlier and thus longer warming period

[Mark Vinson @superiorliscous]

@LakeSuperior I’m envisioning something pretty revealing with no ice to cover up with

[Mark Vinson @superiorliscous]

@LakeSuperior Go Home, you're drunk.
Or have you lowered your expectations?
Your ice cover today is the lowest for this date since 1973.
You need to chill.

[Mark Vinson @superiorliscous]

Wowza! A plot that’s both pretty and informative. After >20 years it’s time for the Christ Child to move along

Learning new #dataviz tricks in #rstats! Mean daily ice cover on Lake Superior going back to 1973. You can see the effects of the warm 1998 el Niño winter-- it's been associated with a climate shift that has resulted in reduced ice cover on the lake in following years.
