   Summary Author:  John Stetson

   This past winter the “Big Bay" of  Sebago Lake in Maine did not
   freeze. The smaller bay, Jordan Bay, experienced ice-in on January
   16th.  Ice-out from Standish to Raymond was listed as April 3rd.

   See the graphs (from the U.S. Geological Society) below the photo. The
   regression lines tell the tale of the trend. Ice-out on April 3rd is
   early for Sebago Lake.

   We did have a surprise on the afternoon of April 4th (top photo). One
   day after the official ice-out, wind carried a not-so-small amount of
   ice to our shore. However, the next morning not a trace of ice could be
   seen. Click  here to see a record of ice out dates from 2000 through
   2020.
