Clear Lake officially ‘ice-out” for 2020

CLEAR LAKE — One of the signs of spring officially being here is when Clear Lake has been declared as ice free.

That officially happened over the weekend when Water Department Superintendent Adam Theiss announced on Saturday that the lake was officially “ice-out”. That is when a boat can run along the entire shoreline of the lake without encountering any ice.

The lake was iced-in back on November 12th.

Last year the ice was declared out on April 10th. The earliest that the ice was out was back in 1931 when it was out on March the 5th. The latest ice-out date was April 28th in 1951.
