Swimming traditions

Jen Wyse is famous at Lac Le Jeune for being the first person to swim in the lake after the ice goes off in the spring. She started a tradition that lives on. Now Jen is starting a new tradition by being the last person to swim before ice on! These photos were taken by Kathy Wyse this week as we're seeing ice beginning to form around the edges of the lake.

Sylvia,
Do we have historical data on when ice onee has occured in the last years ?

@Aldo, that's a good question. If we start keeping a record of ice on I guess our first entry would be November 14 (TODAY!)
