I agree, I never saw any ice on the broads and I was there right before it was supposedly declared, and that afternoon and it was all wide open. So it must have been an hour or 2 that there was ice. But that's just one set of eyes.

It was actually iced in for three days. Emerson didn’t fly over till the third day when he declared ice in. The time and date of ice in is all determined when Emerson feels like flying….

I recall that week, the runway was closed due to tree work at the end of the runway.

So this ice in business is getting a little out of hand imo. For the purposes of this board ice in should mean the inability of the Mount to get to all her ports and leave it at that. If you make this into a science project you could argue that the lake never technically ices in, there is always unfrozen water in the lake.

Declare “ice in” when the Mount can’t make her ports, ice out when it finally can. Keep the gate keeper of when Emerson, with the understanding that he gets up when he is able and that could be days off from when each event happens due to circumstances beyond his control. But his declaration is final unless the webmaster decides otherwise.
