I will be checking out Isle on SE corner of big lake Mille lacs for a back up plan. Chapmans resort and Hunters pt resort. Only an 85 mile drive NW of Forest lake. Hope to be there by noon and then to forest. Forecast is less snow in Isle!! May need a backup plan
75 miles north of Forest lake on I35 is a perfect plan B. Photos and ice report sent to JD and Mark. They are only expecting flurries to 1 inch!! Stay tuned.

Spring Park Bay looked locked in, but I did not have time to venture out this morning. Not sure if anyone has been out on it.The main lake was steaming at 8AM.
Battle Lake MN
I'm just heading into do some sailing on Battle Lake, Looks like it will be in the edge of the snow later today, 90% clear of snow yet this morning :)
Happy sailing!

Here is where you need to go in the twin cities.
The primary site for what promises to be an EPIC GREAT WESTERN CHALLENGE IS FOREST LAKE!
Dude, Why would you want to sail alone, when there's an event with others and ice that has been checked?

Just go to Forest Lake, we won't have to watch the copter shot of ur rescue on the news tomorrow.
Waconia
Waconia looked like 100% ice cover with just a dusting of snow, I didn't have time to walk it but I did see X country skiers about 100 yards out.
Don't go Waco.
A recent and very reliable report on this site suggests its probably unsuitable. U'll find that wet spot.
Not much help
