Ice-in/Ice-out

Long Pine · 12-03-2007, 10:02 AM

I'm curious about the opinions of the experts (or the people with good memories) on whether an early ice-in tends to mean a later ice-out (under the theory that the ice has more time to thicken once the initial top layer is formed)? I'm guessing it would be hard to prove since I don't think that ice-in stats are kept. However, in the last 10 years, ice-out has happened on April 10th or earlier 5 times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2006) and on April 20th or later 5 times (2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007). Can anyone recall whether we had early or late ice-ins in those years to see if there is a correlation?
