Speaking of central area, bad. Normal temps are enough to get everyone out there early enough but the deeper the ice makes ice off that longer in the spring. A really bad cold year could spell winterkill for a good number of lakes.
If the predictions are correct,
A lot of snow early is also bad for flood water, and, just when people are thinking of getting out it then gets too cold for "fun".
Of course we will be out there and tough it out anyways
