The open water is getting closer. The wind has switched more north. The greater majority of the lake is open. But traditionally, “open” means being able to drive a boat from Isle Bay to Garrison Bay. So it won’t be called “ice out” today like I thought it might have been.

It looks like the lake will be open sometime tomorrow.  Strong NW winds have moved the ice, and there is open water NW of Hennepin Island and to our NW by about 3 miles. The ice is pretty soft and doesn’t appear to be doing much for damage.
