Inversion?

Yesterday morning when I got up at 1:30AM the temperature here in the Bangor, Maine area was 55 degrees!  On the last day of November!  Meanwhile the temperature in Miami, Florida at the same time was 53 degrees - it was warmer in Bangor, Maine than in Miami, Florida.

And I was going to write about ice fishing, I still am.

The season in Maine starts with the month of January. Ice permitting.  Every year at least one person drives a pickup truck on the ice that sinks.  People still haven't learned to wait until the ice is safe, thick enough, however you'd like to word it.

When I was a boy we would ice fish on a local pond, just an axe, a couple of traps and warm clothes.  No gasoline powered auger, no fancy ice shacks, no snowmobiles, and no pickup trucks.  That's not how it's done anymore.
TV? and warm too.
Inventive.
Little more convenient.
And, the winner is...........Snow Bear
