Door County Ice Shoves arriving earlier than usual

Every winter, Lake Michigan provides an unbelievable art-like exhibit that forms 300 miles of ice along the shore line of Door County. The ice not only looks incredible, but it actually makes sounds that range in volume each day depending on the thickness of the ice and the strength of wind combined with wind direction. Although the sounds are usually muffled by the woods, you can hear waves below the ice as well as the crashing of glass like ice washing back out. Some Ice Shoves were seen locally this past week near Peninsula Park which is rare for this time of year, as they don’t typically form until early spring (mid to late - March). It can be seen as a unique winter tourism draw, proving Door County is a year round destination.
