2010 Ice Out by Easter Update #5

The MN Ice Out Status Website surprizingly only added 3 lakes today.

3-28 Kohlman (Ramsey) This lake is in the Twin Cities
3-29 Cannon (Rice)
3-29 Zumbro (Olmsted)

So according to Minnesota Climatology all the SE MN lakes are open, while none of the S. Central and SW lakes are open, which I find hard to believe.

Word from FishingMinnesota.com is that Nokomis in MPLS is open.

This weekend, I went by one of the local metro lakes at about 3pm Sunday to go furniture shopping. The lake was covered by about 70% ice. On my way back by the lake going home an hour and a half later, half the ice had melted. I couldn't believe how fast it disappeared.

The lake now only has a small slab of ice against a point that was free of ice earlier. I'm guessing the slab floated and got caught there.

I'm guessing the Minnesota State report is waiting for complete ice out before reporting on the site.
