We're used to not having ice until mid to late January here in NW PA. I haven't put my boat away yet. The fish are still biting good.
I live in W.Mass and am kinda really bummed out about the warm weather. I'm not complaining about not having to heat the house or the lack of snow. I just want some ICE ICE baby. I didn't reline all me gear for NO ICE. The only one having fun and our cats. apparently the like laying out/sleeping on my coats and bibs. Guess I should hab=ve washed them after last season. Kidding on the not washing part.

I miss the ice too
