Wow -- considering the relatively high lake temp and the downright balmy conditions to date, May 1 is quite a guess for ice-out.

I wonder if we'll have a lack of ice-in this year! Looks like we're still a few degrees above the average water temp for this time of year, and it's still unusually mild.

Then again, it's only Jan. 5 -- plenty of time for the weather to turn.

I feel badly for the owner/operators of ski places and the businesses that rely on their traffic. Same down here in PA. A friend in the Poconos has a brew pub near a major ski resort (which, in the summer, has a water park). The 50 degree temps are killing him. They can't even make snow at those temps.

Meanwhile, given the oil prices, I am not complaining about 69 degrees down here tomorrow. Just wish I could find a dive buddy...
