Ice coverage in Lake Erie is only in the single digits with about 3% coverage, that level is up from 10 days ago when there was basically no ice.

During a cold stretch Northeast Ohio had earlier this year, ice coverage on the lake increased to 35%.

Average ice coverage peaks in late February but we're on pace to remain below average this season.

The latest cold air has added SOME ice but as you can see from the graph, numbers usually drop off pretty quickly as we head into March
