It turns out that we are most likely in an "ice age" now.
During the LGM, continent-wide ice sheets covered high-latitude Europe and North America, and sea levels were between 400–450 feet (120–135 meters) lower than they are today. It has been going on since about 2.5 million years ago (and some think that it's actually part of an even longer ice age … While there isn’t a typical length of time that an ice age period lasts, the range is 30 million years to 350 million years long. So what happened to the ice? These profound climatic changes resulted in a shift of climate and vegetation zones toward the Equator. The two most recent glacial episodes, the Illinois (180,000 years before present until 125,000 ybp) and the Wisconsin (25,000 ybp until 13,000 ybp) shaped our present day landscape, shifting rivers, creating lakes and wetlands, and depositing sediment.
Fortunately. At its deepest over the Hudson Bay, it was over two miles thick and reached as far south as what would now be New York and Cincinnati. The Ice Ages in Illinois.
A quick background to the last ice age.
The time span of the last 130,000 years has seen the global climate system switch from warm interglacial to cold glacial conditions, and back again. Ice age, also called glacial age, any geologic period during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land.Such periods of large-scale glaciation may last several million years and drastically reshape surface features of entire continents. In modern terms, the landmass we know as Canada was buried under ice as dense as two miles thick.
Yes, they were. Mean temperatures 4 to 8°C lower than those of our century caused massive advances of Alpine glaciers and movements of Scandinavian inland ice masses toward the South.
The origins of ice age theory began hundreds of years ago, when Europeans noted that glaciers in the Alps had shrunk, but its popularization is credited to 19th century Swiss geologist Louis Agassiz.

During the last ice age, sea levels dropped around 450 feet. Today we’re in a warmer, interglacial phase – without the ice sheets. Scientists call this ice age the Pleistocene Ice Age. The last cold ripple ended 11.711 years ago and as this ripple lies so close to the ice age’s general end, the ice age never returned and there have not been any ripples since.
The last period of glaciation, which is often informally called the “Ice Age,” peaked about 20,000 years ago.
During the last ice age, only 21,000 years ago, there was nearly continuous ice across North America from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. During this glacial period, global sea levels were an estimated 400 feet lower than they are today.
The last ice age was 12,000 years ago At that time the sea level was 120m lower than today The onset of an ice age is related to changes in the Earth's tilt and orbit A new picture of the last ice age Date: March 17, 2016 Source: University of Bergen Summary: At the peak of the last ice age, a vast ice sheet … The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) refers to the most recent period in earth's history when the glaciers were at their thickest and the sea levels at their lowest, roughly between 24,000–18,000 calendar years ago (cal bp). There have been about 5 larger scale ice age periods in Earth’s history (remember, within a single ice age there are many glacial and interglacial periods). Now imagine it under nearly 2 miles (3 kilometers) of ice. At that time, the world was on average probably about 10°F (5°C) colder than today, and locally as much as 40°F (22°C) colder. So, in fact, the last ice age hasn't ended yet!
