I just drove around on Minnetonka from Excelsior. No standing water, the deeper puddles (one every 100 yards or so)are covered by 1/2"-3/4" of ice over 1/2" of water, the truck would break through them but I don't expect the boats will. The whole lake looks to be sailible, we will be playing hooky and setting up @ SYC.
Lower Lake
We sailed all of lower lake today. pretty rough but still plenty fun. Found best ice in Browns bay and the area in front of the Arcola bridge and in Lafayette bay.
