Looking across the lake from the boat house. You can see that there's still ice in the middle of the lake, but it's very thin ice and it might go out today. What usually gets rid of the final bit is wind, which knocks it around. Some people think the ice sinks. I've checked this out with Rush, who's a physicist. He pondered it for a long time and basically dismissed the idea.
Ken won't be at home today so I'm guessing he'll declare iceout tomorrow--my brother's birthday. For years I picked the 25th as my date but I never won the pool. This year? of course not. I don't know who the winner will be. I thought for sure the ice would last until May 1st or 2nd.
