Ice-in date will likely be latest ever

Published by admin on Tue, 12/15/2015 - 10:10pm

Unseasonably warm weather is making the likelihood of a record “ice-in” date for Clear Lake a good bet.

Officials at the Water Treatment Plant say interest has been high from those who take an interest in the lake’s level and ice-in and ice-out dates.  They share that according to city records, the latest date on record for the lake to be declared iced-in is Dec. 24, 2001.

The earliest date on record is Nov. 4, 1991, which many recall as the year of the Halloween blizzard.
