This report from WABI 5 "For many, the first true sign of spring is hearing that the ice has cleared out from the lakes, especially big ones like Moosehead.

I took to the skies Thursday over Maine's biggest lake to find out if it's officially "ice-out."

"It's a bluebird day. Light winds. It's a perfect day for float flying," said pilot, Roger Paradise.

It was a long winter for many of us here in Maine. For months, we were looking for any sign of Spring.

As the temperatures get warmer, the ice starts to melt on Maine's waters.

It usually takes a little longer on Moosehead Lake.

"The earliest the ice has ever gone out on Moosehead Lake is, I believe, the 14th of April or basically the middle of April. The latest was the 29th of May, and that was quite a few years ago," explained Roger Currier of Currier's Flying Service in Greenville."
