US-WEATHER-SNOW-ICE
This March 3, 2014 NASA Terra satellite image shows snow cover along with ice covered lakes Superior(top) and Michigan. The overall entire Great Lakes system is rated at 90 percent iced over, according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory(GLERL) on March 3. This is the highest percentage of total ice cover this year, and increasing rapidly. GLERL has been using the same method to rank ice cover percentage since 1973. The highest ice total on the entire Great Lakes was 94.8 percent in 1994. Lake Superior is now 95 percent covered with ice. That is up from 78 percent one week ago. Lake Superior has been frozen over 100 percent one time since 1973, back in 1996. == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO / NASA / NO SALES / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
