Ice Update 5-13-14

Ice out is only days away.

Tonight's Ice Update

Here is quick shot of the ice from this evening.  Today's wind and rain has really battered the ice.  More rain and wind is forecast for tonight and sunshine on Wednesday has us all thinking it will be out by this weekend.

Current Ice Conditions

 Two days in a row of temperatures in the 60's and clear blue skies has all of us doubting reality.  In fact though it is real and it seems like spring is starting to win the annual bout for season supremacy.  Most of the small lakes in the area will be going out today or tomorrow.  I urge you not to hold me to this prediction but Clearwater Lake is looking like it will be out by next weekend.

Ice

This is the view down Clearwater Lake from Cabin 6 from yesterday.  There are large dark patches and open water along most shorelines.  These are both great signs.  I would post a picture of the ice from today but the lake is shrouded in thick fog.  Our bets for ice out at the lodge range from May 11-May 20.
