Ice Out Dates

After this weekend's storm, summer on the lakes might seem like it will never come - but it will! If you recall, late last fall, we asked you to help us track the ice in dates across the chain. Now it's time to track the spring ice out dates.

The ask? Monitor your lake, and when you see conditions matching the official ice out definition found on the Ice In/Ice Out page on our website, reply to the Facebook post with 1) lake name 2) date of observation 3) photo if possible.

All valid submissions will be entered in a drawing for an SRCLA Goodie Bag. Timing depends, of course, on Mother Nature! But this new ice-out tool from UMN might give us some insight. https://seagrant.umn.edu/programs/recreation-and-water-safety-program/mn-ice-out-clock
