Ice started moving today, Monday 3/30/09. Forecast for big west/north wind got it started. Wind was not as big as forecast so far. Ice 2-3" thick and honeycombed pretty good, not loose but certainly weaker than solid white/clear ice. NW wind pushing it along.

6pm 3/31/09, getting to be miles of open water around Dome. Still heading south slowly. N wind easing up. Still very sunny and warm. Another day or two if it stays warm and it should be mostly gone. These pictures taken 5:30p-6pm.

4/1/09 7:30am update. Big S/SE wind, enough to blow my hat off. 10-15mph. Ice moving N quickly. East component is blowing ice off east shore toward dome/sagamore. Huge gap between shore and ice. Totally overcast, looks like rain. 35 degrees.

Looks like the strong SE wind melted/pushed all the ice North west-ish. Pretty much done, mostly all open water now in the main lake. A week or two early this year. Amazing how fast it goes and melts once it gets started. 48hrs.
