The Ice Is Out!
Tuesday April 02, 2024
The JLA Annual Ice Out Competition has come to a close for 2024! The ice is officially out on Jack Lake - at the earliest date recorded since 2012 (which was March 24 at 2:30pm).
Thank you to Ryan Dunkerley from the Anchorage Marina for making the official ‘ice out’ call on Thursday, March 14 at 11:04pm.
That means our winner – out of 62 people who submitted their predictions – is Scott Hill who had the luck of the Irish on his side with a St. Patrick's Day guess of 'ice out' on March 17 at 1pm.
Runners up predicted 'ice out' on March 18 at 10:17am (Susan Quarry), March 19 at 9:35am (Scott Leatherdale), March 21 at 12pm (Paul Campbell), March 23 at 2:35pm (Don Karch) and March 24 at 3pm (Jan Meharg).
Congratulations to Scott and our runners up - look for your names in this summer's issue of Smoke Signals!
Thank you to all who entered their predictions!
