Is Lake Erie completely frozen over yet?

[layoutshooter]

Not even close, I was referring to Hell, Michigan. Lots of good lakes around there. It is rare for Lake Erie to freeze over completely. I think it has only done so 3 or 4 times in my lifetime. It is a relatively warm lake and there is lots of current.
