Summer-like weather conditions on May 1st and 2nd had residents expecting an ice-free Lac des Roches by the end of the weekend. The sound of a lawn mower on Boultbee Road and a resident observed for several evenings, enjoying her pedal boat in the open water along the shore, were clear indications of the onset of summer. All those warm weather activities came to a screeching halt on May 3 when sub-zero temperatures and snow returned. It may be another week before residents are fishing and boating on the big lake.
