Even though it is officially Spring, temperatures are expected to be around 0 degrees tonight. This means that Huletts will be at or near record lows for this time of March. Based on these temperatures, what are the projections for the ice cover on Lake George?
To begin, the good news. It is Spring and temperatures are trending up. Now the bad news. It looks like the middle of the Lake currently has between 18-24 inches of ice on it, with thicknesses of 3 feet in some bays.
What this means is that the lake won’t be ice free by the first week in April. Most likely we’re looking at a late-April or even early May thaw.
