It's been fun to watch the end of the ice cover shift around the lake the last few days. Sally and Mary, on the east end of the lake, reported earlier this week that their ice was all gone.
Then, on Thursday, when we couldn't see any ice on our west end, they reported that the ice had floated down their way.
Now, on May 5th, only the tiniest patches remain, and today's 60 degree temps should make short work of that. So, we will call this ice-out for 2023. The only dates later than this were May 9 and 10 in 2013 and 2014, and May 7 in 2018.
It was a joy to watch the full moon reflected off the water last night, and to wake up to ripples this morning.
Gary Wise spotted the loon earlier this week, and we have heard the loon calls every morning. Such good news!
