Lake Michigan getting colder by the day...

It's been very clear over the Great Lakes lately, which allows satellites to see some interesting features in the Lakes. Here is an interesting post about it.

It's interesting to see that the warmer water has been pushed to the western side of the lakes due to persistent winds coming more or less from the east. Lots of 50-ish waters just off our lakeshore now!
