"Once a booming trade, Rockywold Deephaven Camps is one of the few places left in New England that harvests ice each winter. The camp was founded in 1897, and has since trained generations of workers on how to cut, haul, and store lake ice.
But as climate change warms New Hampshire’s winters, the harvest is facing new threats. "
@CelloMomOnCars Great article. There is a sign along the bike path that runs next to Lake Congamond in Southwick, MA. The sign marks the place where a thriving ice harvesting business once was. Reading that sign today, next to a lake that often doesn’t freeze enough to safely skate on, much less harvest ice, is like reading about life that existed on a different planet. #ClimateDiary
