From the Des Moines Register:
Due to favorable ice conditions over most of the state, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has delayed the deadline for removing permanent ice fishing shelters from public waters. The deadline, normally Feb. 20, will be March 1 this year.
“We had a slow beginning for ice fishing, with poor conditions and open water over much of the state until late January when the current cold spell began,” said Marion Conover, chief of the department's fisheries bureau.
“Lakes in central and southern Iowa are reporting between 14 and 16 inches of ice, and below freezing temperatures are forecasted over the next week." he said. "Lakes to the north have even more ice. With these conditions, we felt extending the deadline was reasonable.”
Why just three weeks ago the Des Moines Register was complaining about how Iowa Should Step Up On Global Warming. Thanks for reacting so quickly.
However, until farmers get more taxpayer welfare from Senator Tom Harkin the problem of global warming will never truly be solved.
