With only two weeks left until the May long weekend, the lake is still covered in ice which begs the question, will the ice be gone for the long weekend? Will boating enthusiasts be able to launch the new season with their first chilly skis, wake boards, or surf sessions? A few years ago there was still ice left, keeping the boats high and dry, but it’s not uncommon for the last of the ice to disappear mere days before the long weekend that marks the start of the summer season. Let’s hope for some warm, sunny days in the next two weeks so the boats can float, and everyone can enjoy a weekend at the lake after a long and taxing winter!
