The high water levels in the Great Lakes are being caused by intense low
temperatures which freeze the surface and stop evaporation. It is the same
function as pool covers here in Florida. Interestingly, evaporation on the
lakes is highest when the humidity is low. So if you folks get another cold
winter, the lakes will rise again.We had out 27 MKIII in Chicago for 15 years,
and in about 2012, we were all worried about the historic low levels. Now you
have to step up to get on the tenders, Queen's Landing which uses to be a lower
level for storing dinghys along the harbor is now a cement beach, and the break
wall around the harbor is almost completely underwater, posing a hazard for
those the uninitiated.Another cold winter and Lake Shore Drive will become a
skating rink when the Nor'Easters come knocking. It has happened before. This
is likely to become the year it happens again.Bruce Sent from Samsung tablet.
