Haze all over Bloomington today as Canada wildfire smoke covers the area. Temperature coolish, not much sun. Air Quality Index around 205, worst I've seen it #ClimateDiary #bloomingtonIN
@eyebee In Bloomington, IN it is 60F. Biking without gloves today. We should also be in the middle of winter. #ClimateDiary #BloomingtonIN #HoosierMast
Great Lakes reach record lowest ice extent for this time in the season
On Feb. 13, the combined ice cover across the Great Lakes was 7.3%, breaking the old record from 2002. The historical average for ice cover season-to-date is 40%.
The region is nearing the average peak of ice season, but instead, ice levels are going down due to abnormally warm, near-record air temperatures.

Low temperature in #BloomingtonIN last night was 75 degrees (22C). That is the hottest low I can remember. Even during the worst of summer heatwaves it usually gets down to 65-68 or so. Really bad for the people sleeping rough or without AC. #ClimateDiary
#ClimateDiary weather could not be more perfect, low 70's and sunny. Spent a lot of last week indoors due to Canada smoke swirling around. #BloomingtonIN
Sunny and 70 degrees in Bloomington, IN! Two weeks until winter is over!
