When is the typical ice-out up there? FWIW, it was almost 80F here yesterday; I could have gone out in the Laser if my shoulder wasn't screwed up...

Still over 2' on the inland lakes.Temp is -2C and snowing here today.
Talking with the Fisherman they figure it will be hard pressed on the inland lakes to have open water by May long. |
