2014 Pond Ice-Out Predictions

So here we sit patiently waiting for winter to abate its icy grip and allow us to fish. There is currently 30" of ice on Putnam Pond, which is my indicator as to when everything else will open up. From this I assume nobody has an open pond to go to tomorrow morning.



My solution is to lengthen March to 63 days. This might allow us to be fishing by mid April. Otherwise, my guess is the 2nd week of May.



So what are your best guesses and why???
