Okay all you Lake Hood watchers let's start guessing when the ice will drop in 2011.

Umm I'll go for the 10th May 2011

I'm thinking that it will be between 8th to 10th May how does that fit with your knowledge?

I'd just like to see it happen. Does it usually go quietly in the night or like a rolling growler of iceberg?

I'm just hoping the grass picks up it looks very sad at the moment doesn't it.

Is that all it takes to drop the ice?

So how does it go just drop out of sight or tipping up ?

I hope it's not Sunday as I may miss it :cry:

Judith don't know how to break this to u but the ice does not sink

it just melts. Gets honeycombed then breaks apart when the wind blows and melts............ 8-)

I hedged my bet with 8th - 10th you had it right. It seems incredible that that vast area can honeycomb and disappear I wish it didn't keep happening when I am busy.
Still now the 'birds' can fly again.
