The 25th Annual Ice Breaker Contest Starts Today!

It’s time for the annual icebreaker contest! We’re hoping spring will soon be upon us, so when exactly will the ice break? That’s the question facing us as we begin this year’s contest.

Here’s the last 65 years of data for you Moneyball types, courtesy of Andy Mack

Aficionados will recall, in 2012 Lake Nebagamon experienced its earliest icebreak on record, falling on March 21st. The latest ice breakup was on May 14th in 2013. Right now, there are approx. 22″ of ice on the lake! The Official Lake Nebagamon Ice Recorder is none other than our own Andy Mack. He is already monitoring the lake for the village and will let us know as soon as the ice disappears, whether it happens mid-afternoon or at 3 a.m. Yes folks, Andy spends every waking moment (eating, sleeping, and working!) on the very shores of Lake Nebagamon to let us know EXACTLY when the ice breaks up (correct up to the second)!
