Never got my ice gear out this year. And that includes a brand new Auger/Drill setup that I purchased last year that still has not seen ice. First year in over 20 years I didn't go ice fishing. Dangerous ice and crappy weather on the days I wanted to go. As others have mentioned, I do not tolerate cold well anymore. I love to go when it's going to be blue skies and no wind...(And I STILL use my shack with a heater), but if it's going to be cloudy, rainy, snowy or windy...I'd really just do one of my other hobbies. Like sitting on the couch and watching tv.
I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
