And the ice goes out
Little late for this year but this spring I created a statistical model to guess breakup on the Tanana for the Nenana ice classic. Well, the ice has gone out and the model predicted within one day. It would have been closer but there was an ice jam Thursday that delayed the tripod going in the water by one day. How cool is that! I'll post the spreadsheet later so anyone can try it next year. It uses meteorological data from Nenana, Fairbanks, SNOTEL, and the ice thickness in Nenana.
So, the ice has gone out but in its memory here are a few pictures of ice on the Chena from earlier this month:
