Memorial Day Weekend and Ice Remains On Lake Superior

It is Memorial Day Weekend and we are still talking about ice on Lake Superior.  Ice remains after a very brutal and unusually cold winter.  

At this time a record around 4 percent of the lake still has ice, including the head of the lake and the Apostle 
Islands.

National Weather Service experts predict an ice out will take place the first week of June.

Experts say the water is still hovering around 34 degrees. The ice will melt faster once the lake reaches 40 degrees.
