Ice Out Prediction

[WakeUp]

According to many of the cams, Ice-out looks on track compared to last year.
HOWEVER, the only thing that bothers me and needs to be figured in is the fact much of the ice this year was black ice. What this means is there is no air in the ice, resulting in a more dense, and stronger ice. This will push back the melting process, all things being equal. It killed me to write this reply!!
