Waconia on the Brink

Post by chanrider »

It's about 30% open as of this afternoon, but the ice looks to be losing the battle. With some sunshine and a few 50's over the next couple of days my guess is it will be ready to go for the weekend.

A few steps closer to the edge of the ledge. Almost half open this evening. And the remaining ice is noticeably darker than yesterday. Pretty cool to see Spring flexing a little muscle. Shouldn't be long now.

Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 47.
Friday: Sunny, with a high near 53.

Hopefully that's all she wrote!

The Wac is 100% ice free now, what a beautiful sight. Anyone have an update on Tonka? That's gotta be open too I would think.

Ice is going out on Minnetonka one bay at a time. Lake Langdon has been open for over a week. West arm, Black lake and Harrison bay have been open since last weekend. Phelps and Spring park bay should go out today. Bigger sections of lake should go out over the weekend I think. Now we just need some wind.

Dress & ride to survive the swim in. crap does happen.
