Little ice left

Compare this picture to the May 10 ice picture. Notice the difference in thickness of the ice. It is the same ice. A few days of sun makes a big difference.

A few snowmobilers are still riding on the Frozen but thinning Yukon. One of my classroom assistants said she was ice fishing last weekend and her husband got the snowmobile stuck in ice. After 3 hours of being stuck, another snowmobiler came along and got a tow rope and pulled him out. She said they were going about 50 MPH on the ice. They went to the Bering Sea and fished and hunted there. (She caught 20 fish and he caught a cold.)
