Ariete's winter was hell on Earth - consistently around 0-3C with snow piles and very little sun. Good grief. Poor soul. I'd take a frigid but sunny New England winter any day.
I don't know if that's the reason. Lake Ontario has average depth of 283ft and a max depth of 802ft. While Lake Michigan has an average depth of 279ft and a max depth of 923ft.
Here is an awesome time lapse of the Great Lakes freezing over
Some reasons from a Climatologist out of Ann Arbor, MI as to why Ontario doesn't freeze over like the other lakes are listed in this article. The main one I could see was:
Although it’s the smallest of the Great Lakes, with a surface area of about 19,000 square kilometres, it is the second deepest, with an average depth of 85 metres.
“Depth is a big issue because the deeper the water, the more heat it can receive and store,” said Wang. “Even though Superior is deeper than Ontario the water temperature there is much lower.”
Lake Superior has an average depth of 148 metres, which enables it to also absorb heat. But being the most northwest of the Great Lakes means that even its deep waters are no match for the freezing effects of cold Arctic fronts, says Wang.
