2019 OFFICIAL “ICE OUT” ON PARADISE LAKE​

Monday, April 22, 2019 at 3:00 PM was determined to be the official “Ice Out” on Paradise Lake. Kevin L. Priest chose April 23 rd at 12:00 PM which was deemed to be the closest to the official PLA “Ice Out” determination. Amy Ball chose April 21 st with no time of day listed. 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!!”

The main body of the lake opened on April 21st. It is unusual for ALL the ice to then be gone in a short time period. Warm weather (Aahhh…70+ degrees) was the magic solution to rid the lake of ice from our 6 month long winter!!

​Thanks to Paradise Lake Association President Greg Torsky for witnessing each and every large piece of ice disappear.
