What's The Weather Like In Chicago?

What Causes Ice Balls On Form On Lake Michigan?
It takes a special mix of wind turbulence and just the right temperatures to produce ice balls - which is exactly what happened along Lake Michigan shores on Valentine's Day in 2020. Ice balls form when pieces of ice sheet break up near the shore and then stick together as they're rolled around by the water.
Light winds and freezing conditions can cause water to splash around and freeze on the boulders, helping them grow. It's quite a common phenomenon in Lake Michigan, and they're observed along its shores almost every year.
