Bets on the NSR ice break up?
Drive over it twice a day and I think it's getting close to having a total break up and flow. I figure maybe this Monday the 26th. too soon? Any other guesses?

Depends where I guess when it starts to break up here it's almost a month before it stops flowing down past the fort

With this snow and recent cold snap since I started the thread you may be right. Personally it cannot happen fast enough.

Buddy of mine said they'd do this on the lakes in Manitoba every year and have a chain hooked to it to pull it out in the spring.

These ones were stuck on a log jam, in a couple weeks the long range they are calling for heavy rains. See what happens this year.
