Good news, sort of. A lake is finally ice-free -- in southeastern Minnesota!
Average ice-out for Lake Pepin is March 30 but this year it was April 20 or about three weeks late.
Here's the CBS news report:
The melt here in Nolalu has really taken hold now. There is water flowing on top of the ice in the Whitefish River; the snow level is back to where it was before the snowfall last weekend. The ground is melting in exposed areas. Water is flowing down driveways and ditches. I've seen a red-tail hawk and a merlin -- both migratory birds and heard what was probably a chipping sparrow. Oh yes, there was a garter snake inside the Nolalu Community Center -- all signs of spring.
