General Guidelines:

"Ice On"
In case the lake should be frozen in the morning, after a cold clam night, but then breaks up in the afternoon with wind and sun, I don't count that as a freeze-up date.  However, if a lake freezes on one day, stays frozen for a few days, then breaks up for some days before a final freeze-up for the winter, I record all the freezing and opening dates so that I can determine the total number of days each winter that the lake was covered with ice - regardless of whether it is safe for walking.  In the simplest case, a lake may freeze on one day and then stay frozen all winter.  In some winters, however, the freeze-up process can be quite complex with multiple freezing and openings.

"Ice-Off"
The lake is considered thawed when it is possible to boat from any shore to the deepest part of the lake without encountering ice.
