Well I wouldn't have believed it but WOW when we got up here this afternoon and looked out over the lake I do not see two weeks left but I will let you all be the judge...
If I did this right, there should be 5 pics below. I apologize for the clarity but they were taken with my iphone.
The first pic was taken from the Glendale town docks.
The second pic was taken from Lincoln park looking at Welch. That is not water on top of the ice, that is open water cracks between the ice!!
The third pic is a closer view of the open water cracks.
The fourth pic was taken from my deck. That is Welch Island in the center right. You can see how dark the ice is and all the water cracks that have opened up.
The fifth pic was also taken from my deck and is a pic of the broads.
Hope this helps Steveo and all you itchy island dwellers!

I can't wait either for ice out!!!
