As a man that was many years a mariner on all the Great Lakes, I can assure you that they do freeze. While a total ice cover is rare, it does happen. Yes, Lake Erie is faster to freeze over, but I have been stopped by ice on all the lakes at one time or another and the regular season ends at Christmas. Many years even the winter runs get shut down.

I've seen Ice pile up in the spring on the eastern end of Lake Ontario, huge chunks of ice 6 feet thick or better, & longer than my pickup, I'm sure it didn't just come out of some bay.
