IG, this is truly captivating! I was so amazed to see the difference - sometimes in just a few hours - or even over a one day period! This kind of detail is truly a first, and I'm so glad you shared it with all of us!

I was particularly amazed at the little "tubes" of ice! Who'd have guessed? Isn't nature wonderful?

And aren't you wonderful for taking so much time to put together this amazing thread with so much narration and detail. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

IG: What an awesome post! You really captured the essential moments of ice-out. I especially appreciate this because I understand how much time & effort goes into putting something like this together; Planning and organizing, photographing, sorting and selecting, uploading/posting just the right photos & then putting it all together and launching the thread.

I was privileged to be up at the lake for ice-out this year and it was fascinating to observe. I took over 100 photos but culled them down to just a few I would like to share if I may. I arrived at my little lake on Saturday 4-16 & we declared ice-out at 6:45 on Sunday 4-17 with a toast...
