Dang! Weather in Minneapolis has been cold this winter (coldest January in something like 8 years). I rode the City of Lakes Loppet fatbike race on Sunday, roughly 10 miles or the 20 mile course was was on lake ice ... including the start line (pic). The lakes are packed with racers and fans. But climatologists are reporting that lake ice is forming later in the season and ice is out earlier in the spring, making shorter lake ice seasons.
