Here’s a quick Ice Update for the contest entrants. There’s open water showing up in some of the shallow areas and the ice is starting to pull away from the shore. There’s still plenty of ice out in the lake. If we could get the sun shining instead of cloud cover it would speed things…

Ice Out Contest Update 2017
The Ice Out conditions are changing fairly quickly! I took a drive around the lake yesterday and you can see the ice is getting pretty black. I’m not going to make any predictions, but I don’t think we have too much longer for open water. It’s supposed to be in the 50’s the next few…

Ice Condition 3.23.16
Just drove around the lake this afternoon and I’d say we’re at about 25-30% open water. I honestly can’t recall things melting so fast. It’s supposed to stay cool overnite the next few days with a couple days in the 40’s so I’m still betting we could have open water by Easter Sunday. I’ll try…

But quite honestly, so far this winter has been totally uneventful and the next 30 days doesn’t show much indication that’s gonna change!!! The…
