NOAA just reported
Meteorological winter (December 2023 – February 2024) | Year-to-date
Meteorological winter was the warmest winter on record for the contiguous U.S., with an average temperature of 37.6 degrees F — 5.4 degrees above average.
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin each had their warmest winter on record.
Twenty-six additional states saw their top-10 warmest winters on record.
The reason I have gone for 12 May is the ice thickness was 49 inches 3 March
27 inches in 2023, 27 inches 2022
Difficult to square with warmest winter story above

When do the bids cease?
Website indicates 4/5/24.
Are the "rules" the same here?

Post from Sea Ice Forum
"Central Alaska was one of the very few areas of North America to have a colder than normal Dec to Feb winter
this year.
I see the ice on the Tanana River (where the Nenana Ice Classic takes place) is extra thick this year. Over 4 foot of ice there on March 3rd."
As my post above indicates, the normal thickness is 2 to 3 feet of ice.
Notice by the way, this is North America.
Still in feet and inches and degrees Fahrenheit!
