Ice Experts Predict Total Freezing of Lake Superior

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

Editor’s Note: Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.

It’s been over 20 years since the biggest of the Great Lakes completely froze.  Now, experts watching Lake Superior say it’s likely that the current cold freeze will bring a total freezing of the lake after closing in on a 20-year record.

The ice cover on the lake reached 91 percent coverage on February 5, 1994, the record during the last 20 years.  Jay Austin of the Large Lakes Observatory in Duluth, Minnesota, says it won’t be long until that record falls.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration says the average depth of ice on the lake is 10 inches.  On February 10th, all the Great Lakes were 80.4 percent covered in ice compared to 38.4 percent last year.

Austin says that the extraordinary cold winter, that included Duluth breaking an all-time record with 23 straight days below zero, will have a strong influence on the region’s weather this year.

“Typically, the lake will start warming up in late June,” Austin told CNS News.  “It will be August before we see that this year.”

Austin said the “air conditioning (lake) effect” would be stronger than usual, keeping temperatures down well into the summer.
