New Hampshire: Lake Winnipesaukee ice-out declaration is earliest on record

[DefiantMassRINO]

For those seeking more Global Climate hysteria:

..."This is the earliest ice-out date for the big lake in the approximately 150 year history, beating March 19, 2016," WBZ-TV meteorologist Jacob Wycoff noted....

Being New England, this first day of Spring is among the coldest days of this past month.


 

[LMAO]

We have had some record ice out dates here in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota

Yet three years ago, the ice cover on many lakes broke the record


You never know what it’s gonna do from year to year


But the early out date is going to screw up walleye spawning

So the Groundhog was correct, and everybody loses their minds.

We have had very crazy winters here in New England for five years now. Extended mild periods and almost no snow.

I don't believe human beings are causing this, but something is undeniably going on.

Weather on this planet is cyclical. Always has been and always will be. Many of the cycles are longer than a single human lifespan.

True, but nobody alive in these parts has ever seen anything like this. It is a real phenomenon. I have a snow blower that I used to use 10-15 times a year. This year: once.  Last year: twice.

And next year you could wear it out.

This year I didn’t use my snowblower once.

I was using it twice a week last winter.

This winter was a very nice break from the last 10. I wonder what next winter will be like without the effect of a large El Niño? Because now with El Niño weakening, our temperature and weather is become more normal for mid March

From about 1998 to about 2011, our winters for the most part were mild

Yeah we went through that about five years ago...

Normally there's 3ft of snow on the valley floor all winter, and January always sees bitter subzero cold for at least a couple weeks...

Them years - For a while, maybe five years running - I never even got my winter gear out. Perfectly content in sneakers and a blanket flannel outside.

Guess what?

It came back around.

Why do some types fear nice weather?

I'll say one more thing on this, in your favor:

The old fathers of the natives around here, and especially points north into BC, the Yukon and AK say the sun ain't setting where it used to on the winter solstice - They pay mind to such things...
That on account of it, migration routes and patterns are changing.

And they're never wrong about such things.

Jussayin.

New England weather is different compared to when I was a kid, but I don't think it's 100% man-made.

The problems with mild Winters / good weather too early:

- ticks
 - fruit trees begin blooming too early (may not fruit if the buds are killed by a frost)
- gives false hope that Winter is over

- late killing frosts still possible
- we can still get bliizards and feet of snow into April

The growing season gets messed up and there are more ticks earlier in Spring.

The last time I used a snowblower was in 1975.

Yeah well.. Arizona, so...

You traded it for a Kegerator.   So STFU!

We have had the same in North Dakota, with only a couple of spells reaching 30 below. Frankly, I don't mind the mild weather, even though somehow the utility bill manages to expand to be as fat as in a relatively cold year.
We did get a foot of snow a couple weeks ago, but it is pretty much all gone now.
We could use more moisture. I hate it when the prairie gets real dry, and the farmers could use it.
But there was still 3 ft. of Ice on Lake Sakakaweja, just a couple of weeks ago, and the ice hasn't gone out yet. I'd hate to see the Walleye spawn disrupted, they're my favorite fish.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Yeah well.. Arizona, so...

That summer heat though in that place? Good lord... I'll pass. And I like the warmer weather the older I get but Phoenix is too much for my tastes. I guess people say it's a dry heat.

None for me thanks. It gets north of 90 and my fat butt is in a lake somewhere.
I like 60s and 70s best... t-shirt weather (0-85) is fine.  Outside of that I'd rather it was colder than hotter.
