Ice-Out 2012

Merrymeeting · 02-23-2012, 08:01 PM

Two signs of early Spring today,

An area of the Merrymeeting River that just opened up in the past 24 hours already had a duck couple swimming around in it today.
The eagles that nested on the river last year are already busy starting their nest.

Saw a very large flock of Canadian Geese today on some open water on Wheelwright Pond in Lee today. They were there just before noon and I saw them again about 4:00 PM. So Ice Out can't be too far away on Winni!

Looks like next week is going to be rain with temps in the forties during the day. Thinking that my first ice out guess in my life...is going to be WAY OFF.

When I made my guess of the 17th I thought to myself "no way can it really go that early". Now I think I overshot it a bit. I am on a cruise for a week next month, and think that it will probably go while I am away.

Ice out to me really means getting from gyc to mark, as this early in the year it is all I need. I am sure that path will be well clear before some of the bays.
