Ice-out 2022 - whats your guess??

[Campkipawa]

@penner , @wayne , etc, how is the ice looking?  Must be getting close?

[wayne]

Yes it's getting close, Saw pictures on Face book this morning. Still a large black section right across the lake from the docks in Kipawa. The forecast shows warmer weather Friday and Saturday.   It's opened up a lot but I think Saturday?

Thanks @wayne , cheers to a great season ahead.

Hello everyone, ice just left Baie McAdam yesterday, woke up to a beautiful view this morning as the sun shone across the water that was like glass…  Cheers, DK

Same. Both MacLauglin lakes are clear. took a trip to MacKenzies camp. No more ice here.

The main lake in Kipawa still has ice. Most of it should be gone by today or tomorrow!

Any idea how ice looks today

[wayne]

With the warm weather I decide to go to the lodge today.  Arrived in Kipawa at 10 am, Well the main lake from the docks was ice covered and not looking good. Drove to Mungo Bay, launched the Lund and arrived at the lodge at noon.  No ice at this end. All is good. The ice should be all gone by tomorrow. Wind rain and warm temps over night will finish it. I would say May 2nd as the date of ice out!

Took the boat straight across from camp behind Bronson Island las night at 8:00pm to town.  Was still ice to the north that earlier in the day I had to go around to the south.  Should be gone today.

Yeah...being 603 miles away, it's hard to tell...but I'm pretty sure the "ice out" date for 2022 will be 5/5 (tomorrow). It may seem like the ice is "off" today, but I'm sure you could find a cube or two floating around that big lake. So....yeah...probably should just call it 5/5.

I wonder who has that date.

I have May 4th...
