Mendota Freeze Contest
Every winter, the Mendota Freeze Contest calls attention to the year-round importance of our lakes on our local quality of life. In our 14th annual contest, weather watchers and ice experts of all ages will be asked to guess the official ice-on date for Lake Mendota. A winner will be randomly selected from all entrants who guess the correct freeze date. The winner will receive $1,000 in gift cards from Lands’ End.
The 2024-2025 Mendota Freeze Contest is CLOSED!
The Wisconsin State Climatology Office declared Lake Mendota frozen on December 25th, then open again on December 27th, 2024. Please check back next winter for our 15th annual Mendota Freeze Contest.
