   The photo above, at top, shows an aerial view (from a kite) of the ice
   cover on  Sebago Lake, Maine, as observed on February 17, 2021. A
   ground view is shown in the bottom photo. There was just enough ice
   this past February for the local Rotary Club to safely hold an ice
   fishing derby. Nonetheless, the ice was short-lived – open water was
   reported 10-days later. Even though the entire lake didn't freeze in
   2021, the official ice-out date occurred on March 29. Click  here to
   see a record of  ice-out dates for the past 20-years.
