April 10 Still Wishing for spring on Deer Lake, Finally we have warm temperatures, maybe a bit too warm at 60 degrees, suddenly. Melt could find Spring-time soon, but with flooding and mud. *** April 14 Several days of near 70 degrees has turned the snow to water, with some local flooding. It was thought that since we received a heavy insulating snow before a spell of freezing temps, perhaps much of the potential run-off actually soaked in to the ground. *** April 17 Deer Lake turned white again from more cold and 4 inches of snow after several days that reached 70 degrees and melted out many a lingering snow drift. *** April 20 It Happened again on Deer Lake: another Spring Blizzard with six more inches of heavy, wet, tree-bending snow! *** April 28 Deer Lake is beginning to darken, but the previous snow's white retards the melting by reflecting the sunlight. *** MayDay 1st Warm temps, more rain and high winds push Deer Lake into Ice-Out End-Game with ice growing darker and darker! *** May 3 Deer Lake Ice-Out pending some breakup of the sheet, but winds have subsided. 70 degree temps might just make the ice disappear! *** And by 6pm, May 3rd, the ice began to break up under a slight breeze from the south. *** Docks ready to go! *** May 4th 10am Ice on Deer Lake still melting away. Sparce winds keep ice in middle rather than crashing onto shore. ***
May 6th Only a few remnants of ice remain buffeted about by SE winds, rain and warmth. Ice_Out Imminent! **** May 7th ICE-OUT! Loons Back Just a few cubes left in the backwaters after 3/4" rain overnight
