Ice Out has occurred!

Looking north on Caesar Pond

 Woweee! This is an early ice out!

Looking south on Caesar Pond

It sure is good to see open water on the pond. I can't wait to get out into the boat. Somehow, we will figure out how to get me to and from the boat with my bum knee. But first, Drew will have to get the dock into the water. I think we'll wait for a couple of weeks to make sure the weather is amenable.

Here are the ice out dates on Caesar Pond from over the last 20 years. Do you see the pattern? Every 4 years there is a March ice out...and those years yield snowfall totals under 65"... :
