Venja Röber / EyeEm/Getty Images(NEW YORK) The aftereffects of the winter that wasn't in the Northeast are continuing to reveal themselves, as another recreational activity opens early due to mild weather conditions. The Niagara City Cruises, the famed boat tours that take tourists to the falls, is opening for the season on Thursday, the company announced. The "historic" opening marks the earliest point in the year that the Niagara City Cruises has even begun operations, the company said, citing the mild winter weather. The annual spring opening is largely dependent on the buildup of ice on Lake Erie over the winter, which has been "minimal" this year, with as little as 1% of the lake's surface currently covered in ice and water temperatures above freezing by the end of February, according to City Cruises. On Feb. 13, near the peak of the ice season for the Great Lakes, the combined ice cover across the Great Lakes was a record low of 7.3% for that date
