I learned today that the ice left Skookum Bay on Red Lake today.
My late father, Don Baughman, who spent many a year waiting for the ice to break up in Red Lake, always said that seven days after Skookum Bay was clear, the ice will break up on the rest of the lake. If that holds true this year then ice-out would be next Tuesday, May 12.
Enid Carlson of Viking Outposts notes on her blog today that husband Hugh drilled a hole on Howey Bay today and there were just 13 inches of candled ice!
Melting conditions have been great the last few days and are supposed to continue tomorrow but then a three-day cold snap is forecast.
There are mixed predictions on tomorrow's weather too. One weather service calls for a thunderstorm which would be death to the remainder of the ice and the other simply calls for light rain which wouldn't have as much effect.
