Ice Free!

Lake Gilmore Iced out today! So lets see December 5th to April 2nd that's 117 ice covered days. so lets compare that with last year. Last year Gilmore froze over on November 20th and iced out on April 24th and that was 154 days so that's a difference in 37 days! Wow! That's over a month less time ice covered.

I wish I would have kept track of this every year I have lived on Gilmore but I do have a sense of the averages which are - freeze over has usually occurred sometime around the second week of November and ice out is usually sometime around the 15th of April.

Let the open water fishing commence!
