Based on the latest satellite photos, it looks like the ice is greying up and leaving. Any reports from the first visitors to the island yet??

The latest satellite photos show most of Siskwit and Moskey Basin is now open and it appears all the snow is gone. It's hard to tell, but looks like the other inland lakes only have a small amount of ice left. Yay!!

Hopefully they are enjoying their extended hybernation and decide to stay happily tucked away in their little bug beds for another 3 weeks......
