Cool Lake Erie ice coverage images courtesy of the European Space Agency Sentinel-L2 and L3 satellites. Notice the surface inconsistencies of the ice and the BIG crack/gap highlighting the unstable nature of the ice field. First image is from the MODIS satellite. The remaining images (courtesy ESA - Sentinel L2 and L3 satellite) start over the eastern basin from Buffalo to Erie, PA where the ice thickness is greatest. Notice the mid-lake crack which is roughly 2 miles wide.
Our vantage point from the shoreline is short. Notice how highly variable the ice coverage is as you continue out onto the lake

Thickness will continue to drop along the shoreline to between 1-2 inches
at most by the end of the week. STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE!
