I heard on one of the Burlington TV stations last night that there were ice fishermen on one of the quiet bays of Lake Champlain yesterday. Either very brave or very foolish. I like to think ice fishermen know what is safe for ice - but then every year we have someone fishing going through the ice either with a truck, a snow machine, or on foot. So not all of them are ice smart.
The national report on global warming paints a gloomy picture



It appears our climate is definitely changing and we know from this year's early snow and bitterly cold weather this is one of those exceptional years we may be seeing more of in the future. It could be we're going to experience colder winters and hotter summers. More snow or less? The precipitation I measure includes snow, of course, and that seems to me to be pretty consistent. A few high and low years, but I don't really see a trend. But then, I'm no expert - I just take the measurements and make the report every morning. For almost 10 years now. Seems like only yesterday I went for training at a meeting in Greensboro that lovely June evening in 2009.
