ExiledInIllinois Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 http://wivb.com/2015/04/18/ice-boom-anchors-local-anglers/ Just over a month late. This has gotta be bad for recreational interests like fishing & boating along w/the economic benefits the recreational industry brings to the area. Maybe Bass Pro was right in bagging out. A whole month is lost in the lucrative spring... Almost two months. You would think that BFLO and the residents of WNY would get a cut rate, very cut rate on power costs because of the negative economic impact a thick ice cover and delayed recreational season they have. Surely they can keep things open and still have a consistent seasons for the recreational economy... Yet, they pander on the cheap to the power companies. You would think the fed (USACE/USCG) could do more to not hamstring BFLO's waterfront on the cheap with a floating dam! As of today the Niagara Ice Boom is coming out: http://www.wgrz.com/story/weather/2015/04/20/ice-boom-wgrz-buffalo-niagara-river-lake-erie/26088647/
