Lakes warming in the Sierras -- told you so

California, Nevada Lakes Warming Rapidly



Deny all they want, but it's undeniable that ice is melting and rivers and lakes are warming up, all over the world. Spring is earlier, winter is later, shorter, and warmer. Even though they hold the Winter NHL Classic on frozen ice, like the frozen ponds of yore, the existence and persistence of lakes and ponds with ice thick enough to walk and skate upon is becoming shorter and more northerly. Canada may be the Great White North, but it's not white for as long as it used to be, nor is it white as much as it used to be.
