VERMONT– As Vermonters patiently wait for spring temperatures, the Department of Environmental Conservation invites the public to report when Vermont’s lakes and ponds lose their ice cover.
Also known as the “ice-out date,” this date marks when lakes or ponds become ice-free from shore to shore. Tracking ice-out dates helps DEC scientists decide when to begin seasonal water quality sampling efforts.
