Appreciation post: The year the river near my town stopped freezing over
I grew up skating on the Mill River every winter, but around 2015, it just stopped getting thick enough to be safe. That was the moment it clicked for me that this wasn't just a weird warm spell. What's a local change in your area that made the problem feel real?

Honestly, my local pond still freezes solid most winters (we just skated last week).

That bit about the river not freezing hit me. We used to have these massive icicles form on the cliffs by the old quarry every January. For the last five years, they just drip. It's like a slow leak you can't fix.
