(Arnolds Park)– Snow has been flying through the air today (Thursday), but we have proof spring and summer can’t be too far away–the ice has officially gone out of the Iowa Great Lakes.
Kirk Ewen of Arnolds Park keeps track of the official freeze-thaw dates of the Iowa Great Lakes. He says the ice went out of East Lake Okoboji Wednesday and the final chunks of it broke up on West Lake Okoboji today (Thursday).
Big Spirit Lake has been ice free for about a week.
