4/28/15 – As of noon today, Sawbill Lake is more than 90% ice-free, which is the official criteria for ice-out. By sunset, it should be completely clear except for a few small remnants.
April 28th is very close to the average ice-out date for Sawbill Lake. In the past, the average ice-out date was May 1st, but in the last 25 years it’s been getting a little earlier. – Bill
The picture is a little deceiving, but in-person, it’s clear that the ice is more than 90% gone.
