(Arnolds Park)– The Iowa Great Lakes are once again locked in ice for another season.
Kirk Ewen of Arnolds Park keeps track of the official freeze/thaw dates of the Iowa Great Lakes. He tells KUOO news East Lake Okoboji officially froze over this past Monday (Dec. 6th) and West Lake Okoboji was completely frozen over Wednesday (Dec. 8th).
Those dates are pretty much on target with historic averages and are a bit earlier than a year ago, when East Lake froze December 8th and West Lake froze December 18th.
