It's official. Ice OUT March 26-27th 2012.

Today was "ice out" on Chequamegon Bay. It take three things for "ice out"  warmer weather, rain and finally wind. Today March 27, 2012 we had the strong winds from the south gusting to the mid thirties.

Open water tells a tale.

This open run water running over the dam "tells the tale"of an active Beaver presence.  This photo was taken South of Ino WI.

This open water is connecting the Long Bridge and Short Bridge. This meeting of the waters of the two bridges "tells the tale" of  ice out in Chequamegon Bay. It is said that two weeks after the waters from Long Bridge and Short Bridge meet in the spring the ice will be out in 2 weeks. If true that would be by April 2nd this year.
