(Arnolds Park)– The much below normal temperatures we’ve experienced this week have resulted in the Okoboji’s freezing over for the season.
Kirk Ewen of Arnolds Park keeps track of the official freeze/thaw dates of the Iowa Great Lakes. He says East Lake Okoboji froze over Thursday and West Lake Okoboji today (Friday).
Ewen says that’s about a week later than last year for both lakes.
Ewen says while there are a few isolated spots that still have open water due to flocks of geese, that enough of the lakes are covered in ice to make the declaration.
