Here the terrible effects of a very harsh last winter are being emeliorated by a very slow spring warm-up. A sudden and dry warm-up or a hard freeze in the next two weeks will devastate the area.
Lots of winter dieback, desiccation with deer and mouse damage to boot.
Some Great Lakes water levels are up 12" from last year and nearing the hundred-year average.
Shipping channel east of the Sault Locks is still almost plugged up with ice.
