Ice Out on Paradise Lake

Saturday, April 11, 2020 at 1:52 PM was determined to be the 2020 official “Ice Out” on Paradise Lake. Willis Enzenauer chose April 12th at 4:00 PM, which was deemed to be the closest to the official PLA “Ice Out” determination. John Siegel chose April 8th at 12:00 noon, which was the exact day the main body of the lake opened up. These two experts used their scientific skills to calculate their predictions!!! When you see them, recognize them with all the respect due to their status of “FAMOUS PEOPLE!!” Three days between the main part of the lake opening and the ice disappearing from between Stony Point and the north shore is kind of normal. Last year with 70 degrees, it only took
one more day, the 21 st and 22 nd of April. Thanks to Paradise Lake Association President Greg Torsky for witnessing each and every large piece of ice disappear.  And a special thanks to Mary Madigan for her persistence of choosing July 4th!
