The Great Lakes ice season will continue a slow start for the final days of 2023 and the first few days of 2024. Temperatures across the region will continue to be either extremely marginal or not conducive at all for ice growth. A shot of colder air will enter the northern Great Lakes for Saturday night through Monday and this will help continue heat loss for Lakes Superior and Michigan, but no new ice growth is expected at this time. Temperatures will then trend above normal for the first half of next week.
