Ice Out on Gooderham Lake 2010

Well, as of nightfall on April 3rd, 2010, there were only thin patches of ice floating around on the lake. After dark, a big wind came up and obliterated the remaining ice. This Easter Sunday morning, April 4th, the lake is calm and completely open. The ice out was rapid, once it started, thanks to the unseasonably warm weather we've had for over a week now. It was only last week that I saw two deer walk safely from the island to the mainland over the ice.
