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

Yesterday the water on Wawa Lake was beautiful. It was a rich, deep, dark blue with shimmers of black as the waves moved. Today… It’s a whole other story.
The ice has begun to form. This is the second earliest date from the charted dates below, by a mere 2 days. November 26th, 1959 is the date that Wawa Lake was earliest frozen. Unfortunately, for those who are worried about climate change – this year was the latest that the lake was open.
Andy Stevens compiled the chart below, but there are dates missing. If you have information that would make this chart complete, please email brenda at wawa-news.com.
