Ice Cover
Some recent links I've come across:
-Here's an article from BayViewCompass regarding ice on the Great Lakes: Great Lakes ice rhythms
-The NOAA Great Lakes Atlas has ice cover animations. (interesting to note that in 1979 western Lake Superior was 100% ice covered until mid-May)
-Here's a PDF of a research paper: Ice Conditions on the St. Marys River, Michigan, from February to breakup, 1967-1991.

StopAsianCarp.com
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has a new web site with all the news about keeping out Asian Carp.
See: StopAsianCarp.com
I know this is in the news a lot, and perhaps it sounds like hyperbole to some people, but this fish really would destroy the Great Lakes as we know them.
