(Spirit Lake)– Those with ice houses on area lakes are being given some additional time to get them off this year…but not much.
Jeff Morrison, an enforcement officer with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, tells KUOO news the deadline has been moved back from this coming Friday, February 20th, to Monday, February 23rd.
Morrison says it would still be a good idea though to get them off in advance of the deadline. He says snow that’s in the forecast Tuesday night could worsen ice conditions.
