A couple points about this weird warm winter we're having:This is an ice-fishing site, so we're all obviously going to complain about how bad it is for ice-fishing. I've sure done my share of complaining this winter. But as people have pointed out, most of us are saving money and time on heating costs, snow removal, and the like. There is another thing to keep in mind about this weather. As bad as this winter is for ice-fishing, it is good for wildlife. Deer, turkey, and whatever pheasants and quail are still out there in Iowa are doing very well so far this winter.But, there is a possible bad side to this weather beyond ice-fishing. I cannot find any numbers on precip. totals for the last few months, but I think we are well below normal on rain and snowfall. If that pattern persists, we may be looking at a very dry spring, and that is not a good thing.
Yep think weve had a inch and half of rain since July up here. Theyre talking about problems with soil moisture come planting time. Not enough subsoil moisture='s poor seed germination rate. Rivers are the lowest I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. With the amount of land tilled up and lack of soil conservation we could possibly see another "dustbowl" type weather pattern.
You are exactly right but at the same time people who plow snow, body shops, bike shops(snowmobiles) and other reatailers that sell winter related eqipment and services are taking it in the shorts this year.
Went OPEn water fishing 2x this week. They stocked 4500 trout in Crystal Cove Lake in South Sioux City NE. Had my limit in 5 mins!! But stuck around and caught a ton. Came back last night after work and caught limit again.....took about 40 mins this time. Ice was 2 long cast-lengths away from shore.Sioux Forecast is not good for the next 15 days. only a couple of days below freezing for highs.But overnight lows are getting below. Gonna be 2 more weeks (at least). This blows.
