Considering that the average date is around April 20th, I tend to agree with Hazelnut that it will run a little on the earlier side this year, so the 17h definitely has potential. While the rain and air temps are important, the critical event last year was having a big blow come through the region. The western half of the lake had significant ice cover on April 23 last year only to disappear to visit the Weirs and otherwise dissipate by the 25th when a strong NW wind kicked up. Here's hoping....
