The lake I live on (small) has about one foot wide open along my shore. It usually is open 3 days to a weekand a half ahead of the larger lakes. Some years I end up with 5 or 6 loons out here waiting for Green to open. I think we'll be late this year, the past few weeks had colder than average temps.

The temperature is supposed to be around 60 degrees all this week ;D
Too bad I have to wait for May to do my open water dives :'(

I got an email from a friend down in the Wazee area, he said the ice is still there but will keep me posted as to the conditions, I am betting before the weekend of April 10th it will be gone...

The last 2 years, ice out was april 4th on the lakes I checked. Today I was driving by Lake Calhoun around 2:00 and the minneapolis fire dept. had their hovercraft out there. Hopefully it was just a drill, but more than likly it was a rescue. There was 6 feet of open water around the shore. There should be some big open spots by Sun. I would think. See you in the water!

Drove out to Square Lake today. Looks like it will be a week or so, still lots of ice. In most places the ice is still up to the shore.

We were able to dive today in Minnetonka!!!!! > Big Grin

;D >

. In front of Maynerds, there is a Huge open area due to the bubblemakers that keep the ice away from the piers. It doesn't get very deep, but it's diving! Water was a balmy 42 deg. Vis was 10 ft.

The ice is almost completely off at long lake in New Brighton. If the warm weather keeps up with a little rain it should be soon! Hey scubadog did you find anything? Linda
