Bog Pond covered with a thin layer of ice, November 2025 

Winter is in the air, and ice is starting to form on some of the smaller lakes and ponds in the region. Lakes Environmental Association collects dates of ice-in and ice-out for area lakes. Ice-in date (also known as ice-on or freeze date) is when a lake is observed to be completely covered with ice. LEA doesn’t count skim ice that rapidly melts. Lakes can freeze and thaw multiple times in late fall before finally freezing over, and big lakes often don’t freeze all at once.

LEA is interested in both the initial ice-in date and any mid-winter thawing events that result in partial ice cover.
