SARANAC LAKE — Ice started thinning as the first rays of spring sun hit earlier this week, along with 50-plus-degree temperatures. By Friday, fishing shanties had been cleared off of Lake Colby, along with an unusual one on Lake Flower. But in case any anglers, snowmobilers, skiers or skaters are still thinking about going out on local lakes and ponds, Saranac Lake’s fire and police departments urge them to be careful.
