Climate change threatens WI ice road.
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/02/13/madeline-island-climate-shift-ice-environmental-concernWisconsin has a smaller version of what you may have seen on the Ice Road Truckers TV show. When the ice gets thick enough, there is a road across two miles of Lake Superior between Bayfield on the mainland and Lapointe on Madeline Island. But climate change could eliminate the ice road and force residents to develop an alternative, perhaps ice breaking ferries that can operate all winter.
