When will the Twin Lakes Snow Cam melt?

[Geos]

I'm guessing the ice on the lake is going to be the last hints of winter to disappear!

 

The 10-20th crowd might actually be in luck.

[A-L-E-K]

does lake ice count?

[Jonger]

This is why I should have hired a lawyer to get this legitimized. Ok, we have a lake and an exaggerated plow pile to deal with.... Lets count the pile, but exclude the lake.

[Geos]

That pile really hung on today. Thermometer cooking at 70.

 

I do not think that will be gone on Thursday.

The vertical shrinkage has definitely slowed down despite the 70 degree temps.  It still seems to be melting in from the sides though.  I think the 9th still looks good now.

Not much snow left in the UP.  Can see some pockets of snow cover still left where some of the deeper snows had fallen.

Most snow looks to be 1200+ ft above sea level. A little bit still left in the eastern UP.

[frostfern]

This is really coming down to the wire. 

 

Thermometer says it's 80 freaking degrees but the glacier is still taking it's sweet old time.  I might have to drive up their and take a hair dryer to it.  I'm still banking on the 9th but a little worried the last sliver of ice will hang on.

[Geos]

75° at Hancock right now! So that glacier is sweating it for sure.

 

That snow must be like 2:1, lol.

 

Edit: Thinking the 10th of 11th will be the last day of snow in the shot.

May 8th

 

 

 

Fail

 

stubborn glacier won't die

[SchaumburgStormer]

Really liking my call.

[Jonger]

I'm thinking another week. That's dense Ice.

[Geos]

May 9th - fail!

 

Maybe by Sunday it will be gone.

[frostfern]

Fail for me. 

[Jonger]

The melt rate is going to slow down drastically. I'm 90% confident my pick will prevail. I'm guessing this will melt out on the 14th.

[Geos]

I'm going to predict the snow to the right of the snowman will be gone by tomorrow.

 

Edit: Lol, fresh snow in the last shot of the day.

[Jonger]

A couple fresh inches.

[OSNW3]

It's gonna be close. I still like my choice in the poll.

 

The latest time lapse is uploading now... http://www.theplayerstour.net/downloads/krupps13.gif (40M)

 

It is also embedded in this thread a couple pages back.

Nevermind, lol!

 

Amazing it's noon on Mother's Day and the fresh snow hasn't gone anywhere!

[Jonger]

This timelapse is so cool.... We need another one starting around mid November till spring. Sadly it probably won't get up to 6 feet this coming year, since its so rare.

I like it too. Since the time frame was so short, I figured I'd grab the hourly image and loop that. But, for a seasonal lapse, I use a noon shot, one image a day. At least it is what I do for my webcam, like this -->

[Jonger]

I love the time lapse.... Its amazing how much of a change the sun angle is from day to day, its like 1 inch of extra distance for a 20 foot poll.

[Geos]

Almost gone! I think were down to less than 12 hours to go now. I don't see any lake ice anymore.

[mnweather]

That snow is hanging on by a thread. Doesnt have much time left.

[ORH_wxman]

I'll be surprised if that patch can make it through the day. 5/15 looks like the winning date.

[Geos]

I think it will be gone by the 2:38pm update.

[Trent]

Well. Looks like that will be the last frame with snow. The 3pm frame should end it.

[Jonger]

Time of Death: May 15th 2013 at approximately 4pm.

That sucker won't melt. The 5:16pm image still had a handful sized patch left. Probably gone by 7pm.

[Geos]

There is a wee sliver left! lol

 

It put up a good fight!
