We used to sell ice around the world and harvest ice several times a winter, and play ice hockey and ice fish - none of that is going to happen, now.
With almost all the major fires burning down under being set by people doesn't that eliminate climate change as a suspect?

The MA climate from the good old days sounds awful.
So what's the bad news?
Don't worry in a few thousand years where you stand right now will be under hundreds of feet of ice.
