Warmer Winters This Ice on Lake Champlain. By Brian Nearing, Albany Times Union, May 21, 2010. "Ice fishing on Lake Champlain has a long history. But the ice surface is gradually vanishing, sending a message on climate change as it disappears, according to a report presented May 20th at the annual conference of the Adirondack Research Consortium... Going back to records from 1816, the lake has failed to freeze over completely in 31 different winters; 16 of the seasons have come since 1970, when global temperatures began climbing, Stager said. Put another way: Prior to 1970, the lake would fail to freeze over about one year in every 10. Since then, that's become a 50-50 chance."
