1979 was the last year that Lake Michigan froze over. Usually, ice only covers about 50% of the lake during the peak time in February. Actually, the lake did not completely freeze over in 1979 but it came pretty close. Also pretty close in 1977 and 1994 http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/pubs/brochures/ice/icecover.html
No, Lake Erie is a glacial lake. That means over thousands of years, glaciers approached and receded across what is now Canada and now the US. The friction of ice moving across the land carved out 5 basins. At first, the basins were small and filled with rain water and water that melted as the glaciers receded. The basins got bigger and deeper over those thousands of years. We now call those basins The Great Lakes, one of which is Lake Erie. By the way, a lake can never be a glacier, just as a glacier can never be a lake. But glaciers can carve out deep holes where lakes can form. Lake Erie averages a 62 foot depth, and 210 feet at it's deepest.
