Ice thickness

Lakewinn1 · 03-21-2009, 08:15 PM

Does anyone know the thickness of the ice near Far Echo? Haven't been at the lake in the last few weeks.

Ice out is not far away. 2 weeks and the lake will be all open. As I'm sure you are most likely aware of, all trails are closed and the lake is not desireable for riding anymore. Good winter, but let's get summer here NOW!!

Looking forward to ice out and getting the boat in the water..... summer can't be far away! Totally agree with your assessment of winter.

What does Lilly pond by the airport look like? Seems to be the unofficial "2 week warning" as many of your know. Once Lilly pond is open it's about 2 weeks to ice out!!

Sorry, I am no Lake Winni ice out expert, but IMO there is no way the lake will be "all open" in 2 weeks. I want to be on my boat as soon as the next guy, but it ain't gonna happen by April 6, much to my dismay.

I'm no expert either, but I'm with you Chipj!!

I too think it will be longer, but we can all hope that Aviatr is correct.

2 weeks? No way.

3 weeks is more like it. My "revised" guess is around the 15th. A far cry from my contest guess which was much later.

Hi All,

Looks like there's one lonely ice shanty left on the weirscam! I bet it pretty well frozen in place there until this mini-freeze ends!

Cheers....

3 weeks would be nice, that puts us in the week of the 13th. That is enough time to get the snowmobiles cleaned and away, and still go up on the kid's April Vacation.

Bet its closer to a month.

There's a lot of open water showing on the Weirscam. Is that normal? Are the dock bubblers keeping it that clear?

fatlazyless · 03-26-2009, 07:02 AM

There's still lots, like about 15 snowmobiles and atv's out by buoy three, and ice fishing as well. Yesterday, somehad a motorcycle, probably a street/off road bike, and it was look'n very wobbly....could have used some ice studs.
