Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
Sunset, May 19th – The entire sky is reflected in Wawa Lake without any ice.
Wawa residents are sure to be happy that the ice is now off of Wawa Lake. This means that people can now kayak, canoe, stand-up paddle board – all respecting social distancing of course.
With historical data from Andy Stevens, Wawa-news has been tracking when ice forms and leaves Wawa Lake since 2014 – it is interesting to see when and how much variation there is over the years. If you know of someone who might have tracked this information over the years and can fill in some of the blanks – comment below.

I’ve been doing a little competition with the MHS students for the last few years. I declared today, May 20th as ice off this year since, when I drove by the lake at 7pm last night there was still ice near the pump house. 🙂 My dates are a little different than Andy’s. What I use for ice off is “you can not see any floating ice when standing on Wawa Beach” (although one year it all blew down to the other end for about a week and I didn’t count it as ice off.) 2014 – May 21, 2015 – May 8, 2016 – May 2, 2017 – I forgot to circle the winner (and I didn’t buy anyone a pizza because it was all staff members that were close), 2018 – May 16, 2019 – May 16.
