Large ice ridge formed north of Big Island and then open water appeared on the South Down side of Paugus Bay .. about 3.40 PM today .. now at 4:30 PM the open water seems to have closed up a bit...

Message to Ice ....... your time is short ... Good BYE !!!!

Look at the Overlook Cam and you will see it starting to come apart

http://www.winnipesaukeecam.com/ cam has a great time lapse of the ice braeking up and coming right at the camera. Cool.
The http://www.winnipesaukeecam.com/ in Alton Bay is showing a lot of open water at times and others broken ice that is moving around.

Ice Out is very close in many locations.

In my experiance, most of the damage done to the docks is not done by solid ice but usually by ice flows driven by the wind. We did some "back of the envalope math" on what we thought would be a moving 20 acre "burg:" and figured that it weighed about as much as a WW-2 battleship. 'No stopping it.

With the ice just melting in place this year I expect that there will be little damage this year.Terrrific!

I love this part of ice out... the lake starts moving, the icebergs crash into each other and dissipate... Gone by Thursday!!!
