Wind Moves Lake Ice
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008
After several days of wind the ice pack is congregated more toward the center and west end of the lake, frustrating the drivers of a couple of power boats who have attempted to be the first to circle the island. Today is May 5, 2008, my neighbor who has lived here for thirty years said that this is one of the latest dates for the ice to go out that she can recollect. Meanwhile the ice moves back and forth in the wind, breaking into odd shaped chunks. Sometimes it will return to touch our dock, other times it will have all drifted to the south and the cove will be clear. It is interesting to watch, but I wish it were gone!
More tomorrow,
