Lake Michigan (Huron too) is not stratifying

I always look out for Caitlyn Looby's reporting. Here is an interesting story in todays Journal Sentinel (Tues, April 8) that says a little bit about what scientists know about the lake not mixing as much. Spoiler: they don't know much. It is still an interesting article.

Hi Aidan - The Lake is still pretty cold - but some of the die hards have been swimming on the weekends at noon and occasional Friday mornings. Just depends on weather and conditions - not much blogging per se. Things will pick up in May - and especially after Memorial Day - stay tuned :)
