Meh. I was out ice fishing yesterday. Ice is pretty good, just gonna be smart about where you’re going.

I'm not confused about the "bingo", I'm confused about the question. Why ask it? Where did it come from? What does it have to do with anything OP said?

There's plenty of ice fishing left... but maybe don't drive your truck out there.

Crazy. Saw people on Indian Brook Reservoir in mid December ice fishing with active open water around the edges.

Old fogeys don’t realize that with climate change ice fishing in Vermont is basically done. If you go out on the ice understand that you are taking on a much bigger risk than in the past.

Seriously. I was driving down route 30 yesterday and there were countless people on the ice of Lake Hortonia and Bomoseen. It was 44 degrees!!! And some were out there with kids. ☹️

Pretty simple. The “bingo” means that the previous post was spot on.
The question to the OP was simple.
Sorry to confuse you.

This seems to be the case for a lot more adults now too. See all the road rage posts.

I go to Red Wagon for seedlings (https://www.redwagonplants.com/) and Gardener's Supply for seeds. I do use High Mowing Seeds a lot since they're local.

Half a mile is probably right at the limit of the moderation effect of the lake from what I've observed.

I did see the Memorial Day general rule of thumb. We’ve been having some freak late frosts here too, despite insanely warm winters lately so it makes sense to err on the side of caution with anything not tolerant of frost 🤔

Wow. That's some crazy nonsense. 🥴 Time to loosen the tinfoil hat and retweak the antennas.

According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map Burlington is all about the 5a, like most of Champlain-adjacent Vermont. Caveat(s): this is 2012 info and may not reflect weather weirding and global warming quite well.
Direct seeding: carrots, greens, radishes, et al, “as soon as the ground can be worked”- so starting in April…
Transplants: Generally when folks I knew gardened in Burlington (‘05-‘13) if they transplanted starts (tomatoes, peppers et al) before Memorial Day, regretted it. Honestly even the first or second week of June is fine, stuff will catch up to May-planted stuff pretty quickly. Other parts of Vermont have a later Date of Last Frost but B-town is sittin’ pretty…

Your fragility and attempts to restrict speech you don’t like is a great example of why Republicans have any relevancy at all.

> Sounds like he can actually get some shit done in this role.
Like what? I read the article and didn't get much of a sense of that.
Fundamentally, the Dems won't let Bernie have any power that he could use to do something for regular people, like any step toward universal health care.
Will Bernie be able to use this role to stop the Medicare privatization that began under Trump and that Biden accelerated? Don't bet on it.

You can ice fish in warm weather just fine as long as the ice is still thick. I've done it in 60 degree weather in March before. The top layer starts to melt but the integrity of the ice under it doesn't just instantly fail.
