The aftermath in Manitoba*. (the comments on this story are hilarious)
A ‘during’ from Mille Lacs Lake, MN.
*There were no polar bears listed as casualties.

“let them blow, let them blow, let them blow” LOL!
The comments ARE the story – shades of Marshall McLuhan.
I like how the warm-mongers show reverent validation for the alleged octogenarian whose memory of past climate does not seem to correlate with the historic weather record data from the era he recalls.
I was a sprout in the back country in the last of those years (late 60s)- I recall much more snow than now but not as cold for so long like today – lots of snow but earlier springs, lots of flooding before the flood control infrastructure was completed in the late 60s – also those summers were blistering hot – even in the high north – lots of forest fires – not like the cool rainy summers now. So this alleged old dude is either suffers age dementia or is just a troll posing as a senile meteorologist. Gotta love the extent to which the cyber culture warrior will go to the spread the fallacies of their faith-based belief systems.
BTW -You can see an Ice tsunami just about any year on larger lakes after a cold long winter when conditions are right – the broken ice gets piled up at the end of the late where the prevailing winds push it when break up happens. But it seems that just about any display of the destructive force of nature will put these silly isolated urban warmistas into a paranoid tizzy – that’s why the AGW elites changed their narrative to “climate change” as if this is an unnatural thing – now every catastrophic act of nature can be exploited to monger fear to the climate hysterics and be employed to blame it on people with the wrong politics – as is demanded by the culture warrior’s manifesto.
So, this happened in the 60’s and again in 2013. Sounds cyclical to me.
Nothing new under the sun. Just happening for the first time in front of those who haven’t been around long enough to see it before. They are also the ones who don’t sit down and talk to the seniors in their communities any more and learn about how things used to be or shut out the crazy old coot when he starts up with his “it happened way back when when I was just a lad”. The “if it ain’t on “YouTube” crowd can’t watch it on their Z10 or Galaxy or I5 then it hasn’t happened.
Climate is like fashion. It looks and feels good now, but looking back, things seem to appear a whole lot different.
I very well remember mountains of ice being pushed up on the shore of Lake Winnipegosis in the early 1960’s. There were no houses nearby and nobody cared,except us kids who had a great time smashing hell out of the high piled ice.
It was formed in big crystals ,like icicles welded together,and you could have great fun ice smashing until the novelty wore off.
The comments at that link could have been from SDA!
May 12th,2013.Watching the ice on Lac Ste.Anne,west of Edmonchuk,redesign the landscaping on many a front lawn on the east side of the lake.Happens every year,just depends on the winds which side gets free ice cubes.
this dates me , but I surveyed in a trail to the IcePush ridge in Prince Albert National Park in 1972. I had no idea at the time at something like that existed ( I was 17)
that summer also surveyed the Firefly boardwalk in Wasagaming .Manitoba , the wettest, buggiest survey Ive ever done, the first half by foot and the further out by rowboat with a ducttaped rod
Ive never been back to either place
yet
Great set of comments, I wonder, is there something about being lied to, buried in state propaganda, then demeaned and persecuted for asking questions, that brings out the best in people?
Poverty, scarcity and lack of preparedness, because of the actions of true believer, tends to make people so “understanding” when dealing with zealots.
Mercy?
For anti-humanist douches?
Family cottage is at the very northern tip of Lake Champlain. Water there is relatively shallow (compared to the deep parts between NY state and Vermont), and it freezes over winter. For years, as kids, we would build a rock wall 30 feet out into the lake to get a sandy (as opposed to gravelly) beach. For years, we would come down the next spring, and find the ice had moved our five or six tons of rocks twenty feet higher than the water line, and we would, like Sisyphus, start building our rock wall again.
Ice always wins.
