We know there are plenty of clear frozen lakes, pretty much everything along the I 94 corridor Metro to Lake Christina...
We also know its been warm...
The lakes outside the metro area have been, according to the weather sources, 5 or more degrees cooler...
Here's a plan...
Thursday we'll be checking metro lakes, (Mtka, White Bear, etc) assessing the damage the warm temps have done. If conditions warrant, we consider moving northwest until suitable ice is located.
