I live East of Lake Huron, great for Lake Effect snow. A higher average  
temp.
means less surface ice on the lake for more evaporation and More snowfall.

Unfortunately it also melts faster with the highs of 10C/ (50F)? that  
happen
more frequentely as well. :(

Every week is a crap shoot for cross country skiing or more cycling in the
