2019 Nenana - River Ice breakup

The Nenana Ice Classic for 2019  ended when the Tanana river ice broke up on 14th April 2019 at 12:21 AM.

Two days before breakup:


Plots below assume AST throughout the record.

A large drop this year (earlier breakup) but is within the bounds of noise in this very noisy system. It does follow the downward trend from the 1970s.

The Annual Nenana Ice Classic is Over for Another Year

After an initial movement 2 days ago an ice-jam prevented full movement of the tripod and the clock was not stopped. However, the Tanana River officially broke up on April 24th at 2:25 P.M. Alaska Standard Time.

Not free of ice but no more tripod:



So how does this extended date fit in with previous data.

2 plots
one timed from start of year


this one timed from vernal equinox


Seems to be following a declining period with a few early peaks
