The earliest Ice Out was in 2010 on March 24 at 2:00 pm. That was the year that I won with a guess of March 24 at 2:12 pm. Winni-Retired was second and Michael Howe was third.
This year my guess was March 15 at 1:15 pm, so I already lost.

I am hoping for the Ice Out before March 24 for a new record. Last week was cooler at the lake, so that did slow the process. Good Luck to this years winner, I hope you break the old record.
So, if there is floating unattached ice, can that be considered Ice Out ?
I hope that this warm dry weather continues all summer.
