Ice Moves out at Sleetmute – courtesy Susan Hubbard

Susan reports: “The main channel of ice in front of Sleetmute moved out last evening. It didn’t go far as you can see in the 3rd photo. It has stopped just at the end of the village. There is still a shelf of ice upriver from my place and a long stretch reading up from the island across from the village. The last picture shows the extent of the shore ice… next to nothing. I’ll keep everyone posted as things continue through out today.”

Kevin Gusty reports this morning:

“Our River and sloughs are melting and water has been low but we have alot of open water everywhere. Lots of birds and a black bear once in a while.

The Ice was not very thick this year and from what I could gather it is the same up River, the ice shifts almost every day ,not much to tell but like I said it is just mostly melting and shifting little by little and when the ice goes it will go all out. I dont think we or anyone will have flood issues this year – if there are issues I would be surprised.”
