As for the remark about Global Warming and this early ice out, it is what it is and we have to deal with it.
I for one think that the lake iced out early because most of the ice was bare, black ice on account of all the snow storms that went south of us this past winter. In February as the sun started getting stronger, this dark, clear ice warmed up much faster than white, snow encrusted ice would have. But there is no doubt that the beginning of March was way warmer than normal too.
