Are your lakes frozen and if so, are they making strange sounds?
From 2016. Link
Or the most recent I know of. (you have to endure one commercial sorry)

No. I've only ever seen it get cold enough to freeze ponds over here a handful of times in all the time I've lived here. One winter it got down to 20 below in the daytime, but normally it hovers around freezing, so even a light breeze will move standing water enough to keep it from freezing over. When I was a teenager, an old man told me that the rivers used to freeze over deep enough to drive horses and sleds out onto, and that's how they got their ice for the ice houses, but I've only seen the river freeze completely over twice in my lifetime.
Log ago in Ohio our ponds used to freeze over regularly, and I have heard them make similar noises when the sunlight hit them in the daytime and weakened the ice in spots.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
