    Same thing in northern Ohio. Lake Erie used to be ~90% frozen by now where I’m at. The last few years, it hasn’t frozen at all. Which in turn has the lake battering the coast all winter, speeding up erosion.

    At first, this meant getting lake effect snow all winter, where traditionally it would stop once the lake froze. Now, it’s in January and we’ve barely had maybe 4” of snow this season, and it melts off immediately. While some people love that, there’s no way it can be good.
