"KEY POINTS:
• Groundwater inflow enhances winter lake ice thickness by stabilizing the water column and reducing vertical mixing
• Ice responses to groundwater are strongest in coastal zones due to higher flux and shallow bathymetry
• Including groundwater in coupled models improves understanding of ice formation and winter lake processes…”

When the temperature finally drops enough to trigger lake ice, it’s always interesting to see the first frozen patterns develop.

And that Mirror Lake ice is definitively out for the year! Screengrab below from the Ausable River Association camera livestream just now. https://www.ausableriver.org/watershed/lakes/mirror-lake/mirror-lake-livestream

We went from pretty complete ice cover on Tuesday to wet around the edges on Wednesday to patchy partial ice Thursday to no ice today. #Spring has come to the #Adirondacks and #LakeChamplainBasin.
