It’s hard to believe that spring is just around the corner, yet we are seeing evidence of it in many ways. This includes what we are seeing as Lake Michigan starts the spring thaw and it happens quickly.
The water is constantly in motion in the lake and, as a result, sheets of ice have started to stack up against the edge. Many people have been able to see it along South Haven’s pier.

Did you realize that over half of Lake Michigan was ice covered as of March 8?
It is beautiful to see and the formations are fantastic but the U.S. Coast Guard tells us to enjoy it from a distance and stay off the ice.
“No ice is safe ice especially this time of year,” U.S. Coast Guard BMC Grant Heffner said March 20. “The ice is certainly deteriorating and breaking up.”
