Time’s up for the ice on Joe’s Pond

Time’s up for the ice on Joe’s Pond. At 10:18 p.m. on Monday, April 17, a clock connected by a line to a block on the ice stopped because the block dropped, disconnecting the line. It is the first time in the contest’s 35-year history that the clock has stopped on April 17. Last year, the ice went out on April 19.
