I think we could have ice-out on Merrymeeting sometime around sunset today. The few remaining ice packs are being gently pushed by the wind into the northern coves, breaking up, and disappearing quickly.

We seem to have had an almost perfect ice-out this year. With a few exceptions (like picture post in "Ice monster awakens" thread), the ice has receded/melted in place, and what little movement there was has been relatively gentle with no large ice masses slamming into things.

Despite the bitterly cold winter, and some with doubts, Mother Nature has once again delivered an average time ice-out.
