BREAK UP 2013: 22 May, 2013, 0900. The water level has dropped some more and the launch is still full of ice. Need it to warm up to help flush it out.
BREAK UP 2013: 21 May, 2013, 2300. Good size ice is still flowing down at times. Water level is still down andice remains in the launch. It should clear out over the next 24 to 48 hours.
BREAK UP 2013: 21 May, 2013 1920, Ice has finally broken up just outside the launch and started to flow downstream. Typically we will start to see ice jams as the river opens up further. More to follow.
BREAK UP 2013: 21 May, 2013 1700, It is starting to get busy with our first good size section of open water just above the dike. We are seeing lots of ice chunks flowing down. It looks like we are finally hitting the final stretch.
BREAK UP 2013: 21 May, 2013 9AM. Lots of broken ice starting to stack up at the end of the launch dike. This is a good sign that the river is finally starting to break up. Stay tuned.
THE LANDING IS STILL FULL OF ICE. The Susitna River is showing signs of larger open leads but the ice has not started to really break up and flow yet. The main lot is very wet and soft from the rain and snow. As soon as the launch is open we will publish that it is ice free.
