Clear Lake was declared officially “iced-in” on Monday, Nov. 21, by Clear Lake Water Department Superintendent Adam Theiss.
Theiss said he made his way around the lake Monday, making frequent stops and using binoculars to determine the shoreline was encased in ice. Ice-in is defined as “not being able to launch a boat.”
“When the sun came out later in the day and warmed things up, the lake opened in a few spots, but the lake is still declared iced-in,” he explained.
Clear Lake was declared iced-in on Dec. 7 last year.
The earliest Ice-In date on record is Nov. 4, 1991; the latest on record is Dec. 24, 2001. The last level recorded in 2022 was -11.16” below the weir.
