Things going fast.

Here’s an update: Looking out the window this morning I can see a couple of acre sized icebergs float by. So things are breaking up. Went to Young’s Bay late yesterday with mixed observations. Pretty much ice free from here to just west of Mergen’s Point. Then mush ice from there to just east of Brush. When I say mush, would hardly hold up a squirrel. From there to YB, ice had somewhat firmed up with the much colder temperature. Kind of a disappointment. Open water out of YB extended out much further, and when getting back on the ice road, had to travel quite a while to stay up on the ice. Lots of open holes along what was the banks of the road.

Have not been to the east, but looking at the webcam, looks like the ice starts about Centre Island. Heading that way this morning, so will know more. All we need now is wind, and the desired wind directions. Will be over in a heartbeat.

Stay tuned........

Am I right in thinking you're usually thawed by early to mid April?
