Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!

It was really difficult to imagine ice on Wawa Lake this year. With the temperatures bouncing below and above freezing, it looked as if there would be no ice for Christmas. Mother Nature had other plans though, and two nights in a row with temps well below freezing… et voila, we have ice!
Several years ago, Andy Stevens shared information showing the dates that Wawa Lake was frozen over, and when the ice went out in the spring. That chart has been added to and is below.
Please exercise caution on the new ice, and be safe whether you are walking, skiing or snowmobiling on ice.
