some icefields in warm days - temperate climzone.

helo, I'm nearby 13 months at my base, its the 9th may -  and still I see some iceblocks, I have 20°C, temperate climzone, last very cold weather was in march. I didn't have seen iceblocks a year before at beginning of 1st may. In April I did see here and there some snowfields - and it was warm also.

Lake ice is not part of the snow accumulation system that is tied to the calendar and can fast-forward when a previously unloaded chunk is loaded again.

As a result, if a lake froze over in winter, and then stays out of loading range for half a year, it'll only start melting once you come back to it.

And yes, I have also found that the melting is sometimes a bit slow.

Thanks for that. I've often wondered what was going on, but never bothered to ask. I do hope they fix that, down the road. I'm sure they will though. Seems awfully out of place to come back to a frozen lake and slide around in the middle of a hot summer day.
