It is rare, but the Great Lakes DO freeze.
They did last winter.
Erie is shallow, and more likely to freeze (and earlier)

The lake's "snow machine" starts as early as mid-November, peaks in December, then virtually shuts down after Lake Erie freezes in mid-to-late January.
Lakes Ontario and Michigan are deeper, and less likely to freeze. In any case, snow this early in the winter is not unusual.
