Gotta love "Climate Change"... LMAO!  :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist.

W7DRM (old call was W3DRM):
So, with such a high percentage of ice cover on the lakes, does this mean the normal "lake effect" snow will be diminished?  It seems to me that without the warmer open waters, there would be less snow-fall in the region down-wind and thus, less snow-fall overall. Isn't someone on this forum studying this effect?

Love watching how people uneducated seem to think that cold weather negates the 'global warming' theory.

Guess what people.  'Global' warming doesn't equal 'United States' warming.

That's a really good question and I have to agree with your summation, but I've been wrong before. :oops:
