SECOND EARLIEST ICE-OUT
|
Waves of ice and snow: Feb., 2002 |
Linda Laskey called me as
soon as the ice disappeared this year. On April 1, 2002, all
remnants of lake ice took a dive, the second earliest ice-out since
1924, according to record-keeper Don Keene. He added that the
earliest recorded ice-out was March 25, 1981 and the average ice-out is
April 19th. |

It was a short winter by
Maine standards, with an unusually low snowfall. However, fishermen,
snowmobilers, skaters and cross-country skiiers all managed to do their
thing and enjoy Tripp Lake’s winter offerings.
That’s the beauty of life in Maine…four
varied, distinct seasons, each to be enjoyed and savored.
