Lmfao, ok you do know that Superior only freezes completely over once every 20 years.... ND, and Montana don't even have lakes.... and they're not in a subarctic or arctic climatic zone, they are not guaranteed to have frozen rivers every year.

I really don't think you understand what an ice road actually is.

All of those states are no where near the arctic.... the arctic is in the Canadian territories, Scandinavia , Russia, Alaska(only the interior the coast of Alaska is actually somewhat warm) and Greenland.

Those are the only places you can have actual ice roads that are used for months.

Again Lake Superior doesn't freeze over every year, it's in a climate zone that is subject to annual fluctuations.

I also looked it up and the only ice road in the US seems to be in Wisconsin to Madeline Island, and is more of a tourist attraction than a way of life. That part of Lake Superior actually has somewhat of a subarctic climate.

That ice road is only 2 miles..... again up in the arctic real ice roads are actual roads.... that go for hundreds of miles

The Northwest Territories is criss-crossed by 2,200 kilometres of all-weather highways. Ice roads add another 1,400 kilometres to the system

It's cute you think a 2 mile tourist road opened for a couple weeks of the year makes you in the arctic. Americans have a messed up view of northern climates because they think Wisconsin is cold...

It get's to -30 there... that doesn't happen in Wisconsin, you guys are just going on a frozen bay, cause again Superior does not freeze over every year.

My province touches Superior, I'm aware of the geography of your area; I'm in Ontario.

That ice road in Wisconsin is basically for fun, it only has 246 people on it... it's mainly tourist.

Of course a small body of water like a pond or mini lake will freeze thick for a lot of the year, but you need to understand large bodies of water freezing over for several months of the year does not happen in the continental USA; besides Alaska.

How about you stop being a typical American and learn something about the world, because there is more to it than your country.

Do you even know what Great Slave Lake is? It's the deepest lake on the continent, and larger than some of the Great Lakes, that's where a real ice road is.

When it comes to epic northern engineering, nothing tops the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road, a superhighway of ice that extends 370 miles from north of Yellowknife into the neighboring territory of Nunavut. To build it, 140 workers from the Nuna Logistics construction firm struggle through 20-hour nights and windchills that dip to 70 below. By the end of January, they have completed the longest heavy-haul ice road in the world, as wide as an eight-lane highway. When the ice thickens to 40-plus in. -- typically, in late February -- it is capable of supporting 70-ton eight-axle Super B Train articulated trucks.

Wisconsin is cute for thinking they're in the arctic though.
