Ice Off

Well, it's that time of year again when we inspect the shore line each day to see if the ice is receding and watch for pools of water forming on top. It's a daily topic of conversation for LLJ residents out on their walks. Will it be earlier this year than last? We're always hopeful on days like today with that nice, warm breeze.

Well don't hold your breath! Mike Brugger drilled a hole 5' in front of his wharf and the ice was 21" thick. His report: "Sorry, but NO fishing this weekend."

Last year we posted ice off dates back to 1982.

Hmmm. I cut a hole around 4 weeks ago and got 14" ice. A neighbour told me they cut a hole last weekend and got 7" ice.

Maybe Mike suffers from the same problem I have with reversing numbers :-) And just so you know, this is a digitally enhanced photo! LOL

Do the variences have anything to do with the amount of wine consumed. Our records of ice off don't correspond with the ones posted either.

Probably! So what do your records show?
