Satellite image of the Great Lakes on March 1, 2024 showing very little ice cover during normal peak ice season, which ranges from mid-February to early March. Some ice can be seen across a few northern bays of Lake Superior, northern Lake Michigan, and northern Lake Huron. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario were both virtually ice-free.
