Official ICE OUT 2009

Looks like Sunday morning April 26, 2009 is the official ice out here. The wind was out of the north yesterday at 15-20mph. Today it is out of the south at 10mph. NO ICE, still snow in the woods though.
Looks like Paul Therrien is the closest with his guess of "Ice out will be on 4/28/09 at 2:30 pm." wins. This is the earliest that we've seen it in 10 years since we moved here. On April 27, 2007 I took my last ride down the lake on a sled, ice went out May 3, 2007. You'd need a boat this year.

Thanks to everyone that participated. We'll do it again in the fall for"ICE IN".

ICE OUT CONTEST clarification

I've received several emails to why we need an ice out time. The reason for the "time" is when there are more than several entries for the same day. A day and time narrows it down to only one winner. We'd like to give out several prizes, but we also like to stay in business. No bailouts here. Hope that clears it up.

Tell your friends, and email them to enter also.

2009 ICE OUT CONTEST

Originally I put up the webcam so I wouldn't get a thousand emails and phone calls asking "when will it be ice out ?". This year you can see for yourself and have a chance to win something. The contest will start on April 1, 2009 and all entries must be submitted by midnight April 25th 2009. Whoever chooses the correct day and the closest time of the ice out, WINS!

Ice Out will be determined when there is no ice visible on the webcam.

Only one entry per person.

Good Luck
