Ice out on Lake Koronis

This article submitted on 4/25/01.

The ice finally left Lake Koronis on Saturday morning, April 21. While this is the latest ice out on Koronis in four years (since 1997), it actually isnŐt so late compared with the historical record of the lake. In the last three years, the ice has been off the lake by the first week of April, but historically the ice has frequently lasted until the later part of the month.
