    We should reframe climate change as an attack on winter recreational activities. Then Republicans might actually give a shit about it.

    “Oh, I’m not worried about climate change. But I’m very concerned about the impending demise of snowmobiling.”

    NJ here and at no point could you drive on lakes. It doesn’t get that cold. Most of the winter you cannot skate on ponds.

    It has been a long time since most of those places have been cold enough, long enough, to have a lake become that solidly frozen. It has been 30+ years since I have seen this happen in the mid atlantic.

      I’ve lived in the mid Atlantic my entire life and have never driven on a frozen lake.

      I do my donuts in parking lots that haven’t been salted or plowed yet.
