I don't know Matt...we might be ice free sooner than that with these warm temps and breeze! Wink

Some of the smaller lakes around the twin cities are ice free or nearly ice free already. Anyone been out to scout out Perch or Square recently?

All the pond-ish lakes by me are open.

Can someone tell me when Calhoun opens. It's easy to dive and close so it's good for weekdays and ice-out.

Oh, And I'll need a buddy, the Mrs will be cutting the grass. Smile

Ice out at the DNR

I was out at Square on Sunday afternoon. There was still 6-8" of ice on 99.9% of the lake. That valley tends to hold the cold in longer than most.

I was just out at Lake Phalan, and it is probably 60% ice free. I'm guessing it will be open later this week. I'll probably try to take a dip there this weekend sometime.

Jeff, I'd join you but I'm going to be out of town this weekend. Let us know how it is. I'm guessing it will take at least a week after ice out for the viz to clear up though. There will likely be a lot of dirt and debris that was in the snow and ice that will need some time to settle.

jleech · 03-26-2007, 08:07 PM,

Yeah, but it's not often you get a chance to get wet locally in March. Maybe I'll have to make it an April Fools!

The ice is already out on Lake Magda

I'll go diving, in Phalan, if others are interested in a social this weekend.

Lake Jo and Owasso are pretty much free of ice as of this morning, but like lonnie said, it will take a week to have any viz.

I guess I was way off on my April 17th... :-\
