David Hodsdon makes the official determination of ice-in and ice-out on Clary Lake and according to him, ice-out occurred sometime between 4 and 5 pm on April 14th. His criteria for ice-out is all the ice out of all the coves. He also notes that the loons were back on the 12th, a fact I can confirm from my own observations. Even though it seems like a late spring, a look at the ice-in and ice-out records going back to 2001 show that this year’s date is about average.

It sure did go out fast once it started to go.
