Just quit snowing here ~ 10:45, melting as fast as it hit the ground though. Seen 1 fcast that talked about some more early PM too.

[Gunner55]

Bet we had 2.5-3" before it quit yday. Melted some by late afternoon, what isn't gone today will be tomorrow. Went down to the little bridge on Friday & there was still a good section of that with ice. Back to some cooler temps after tomorrow too until Thursday/Friday next week. Gonna guess at least 10-14 days before the lake is ice free. That's still real early for us.

[glenn57]

yea watching the cams, doesnt look like it made much progress as far as ice melt. i wont go up till after easter anyway!!!!!!

scratch that!!!!! the following weekend is the wild game feed....aint missing that. probably drive up sunday after the feed!!!!!!!!! hopefully i wont feel to rough!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

  looks like after today it'll be making ice up there for a few days??????

[Gunner55]

Yeah, looks like only 26* tomorrow & 31* on Wednesday.

[glenn57]

looks like that ice took a beating up there today!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Yeah it did, get the shorelines open so it can move it around a little & it shouldn't take long. I'd think that could be early to mid-week next week, even without much wind.

[Gunner55]

  Thought about ridin over to the NW access yday afternoon but that patch that was so rough for the GTG is now a muddy mess. They even had a small barricade & a flag on the other side marking what looked like a big frost boil. Decided it wasn't worth it so I turned around. Swore I seen the county grader headed that way last week 1 day too.

yea i'll bet that was a goey mess. 

[Gunner55]

The ice is white again here & even the grass has a little tint to it.

Skim ice on our shore today, bunch more open over by the weedy point leavin the bay though. No sign of the DNR over on Little Cutfoot yday either time we went by. There was still a little ice between Mosomo Pt & The Narrows though. Little Ball Club was open on our way home, there a some ice still floating in the SE corner yet. Big patch of open water over in front of Geiger's today too. It might not be tomorrow here but by Saturday or Sunday I'd think the bay should be breaking up.

[mike89]

yea same here, the lake froze over sfter the winds calmed down over night...

[glenn57]

on my way to get the rona shot, i noticed the sloughs and puddles were froze over enough to hold up several geese!!!!!!!!

just looked at the cams......based on what i seen yesterday, that portion now open looked darn close yesterday!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Nice clear day so thought I'd check Modis but only yday's was available. Some clouds in that shot so I couldn't tell for sure but it looked to me like quite a few of the smaller lakes nearby were open.

[Gunner55]

Today's was better this afternoon https://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/modis-today/index.php?satellite=t1&product=true_color&date=2021_04_01_091&overlay_sector=false&overlay_sta Click on MN then zoom in(250M) @ top left.

[glenn57]

according to that cabin lake is still iced over...........for now!!!!!

[Gunner55]

  A couple small ones up there looked open to me but hard for me to tell if it was yours. So that longer narrower 1 up there must be Peterson?

[glenn57]

Yep

[Gunner55]

Looked like at least a 1/3, maybe even close to 1/2, of Bowstring was open yday the last time I looked at the satellite.

[glenn57]

just looked at geigers cam.... pretty good sized area of open water out there. pretty confident the lakes will be ice free by mid next week if not sooner up that way!!!!!!

[glenn57]

whatever is left of ice up on those cams this morning looks pretty ugly!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Rode over to the PA today, some chunks on the ramp & the only other I could see was in front of Geiger's. Road was good on 1 lane, the maintainer had worked up the other & it still needed to dry some more. About 1/2 the bay open now, a little wind & these temps we should be open by Monday IMO.

[glenn57]

hey gunner.........what are the weather terrorist saying for weather next week  weather channel is sayin possibly 1-3 inches of snow possible monday...monday nite  50% chance.

they better be wrong!!!!!!!

[mike89]

I say bring it. I can handle it, just gotta adapt. It just would be nice not having a wet soggy lawn and woods to deal with.

[Gunner55]

  Why, are you surprised? I'm not!!                        I told you earlier to bring your shovel & that they're talkin  tonight, as well as Monday, & Tuesday. Your weatherman(Accuweather) just said 2-4" from Monday AM to Tuesday AM. Naturally it's little to no accumulation for tonight.

My union friend north of deer river is saying the creeks and ditches are full of water.  Guess it will be a sloppy mess  oh well. Not gonna deny GUNNER the nice weather I bring with.
