Here is the ice update for April 23rd.

Lake update- ice

Its that time of year- or is it? normaly the ice is out no later than April 20, but not this year, thanks to our massive snow storms that occured a week and a half ago, we ended up with 3.5- 4 ft of snow from back to back storms. I dont have photos of the storm to share as I was out on vacation in Texas, whew. We did lose a few small trees and quite a few limbs from the heavy snow, some light dammage to house and lots of problems for the plows getting stuck but over all it was a much needed watering for us. I do have pictures I took tonight before dusk of the lake ice progress. We intend to get rain all week, so the melting will go fast, i will do daily updates to the ice out till gone....keep an eye on the blog daily to see the changes.
