Indian Lake Ice Report 1/13/18 - 8;00am
« on: January 13, 2018, 08:44:21 AM »

All,

I checked Long Island at 2nd pull-off and just before the bridge at 8:00am this morning. Here’s what I found:

- Ambient was 10F with 12 mph winds from the North
- As predicted there was more melt over Thursday evening thru Friday afternoon
- The edges of the lake are locked in both locations
- The new ice thickness is 1-1/2” and the ice quality is not very good (cloudy/honeycombed)
- The new Ice meets the existing ice around 6’-8’ from the bank
- Safe Ice could be 4-6’ beyond where the new ice meets existing ice
- Only a light dusting of snow on the ice (We only got 2” overnight) most has blown off

So, things are happening as expected. The lack of snow is a relief as it will help the ice grow today. One thing that is a little concerning is that the lake level is up around 6-8” I’m going to take a look at the dam later to see what flow we have at the south end of the lake.

Getting on the ice at Long Island will be difficult, if not impossible, today. Sunday will be the earliest I think. I’m going to check conditions tonight around 5:00pm and will write another report.

Andy
