The primary site is Lake Washington, Dassel, MN, Other details to follow!

Abundant sailing opportunities today in Minnesota, DNs will be sailing on Swede Lake near Watertown, MN, Cedar Lake beteen Sauk Center and Long Prairie, presumably Ottertail, near Perham and Lake Jenny near Hutchinson, undoubtably other locations as well.

As usual, we're watching a developing low pressure system that promises to be a rain/snow event across the southern region of our ice, and maybe 4-6" on Tuesday... of course there's some uncertainty as to what form it will fall around the primary candidates.

At dusk today spring park bay, lake minnetonka was substantially frozen. I think it kicked overnight.

Really nice write up with a lot of great photoes in the Magazine Superior Outdoors.The magazine can be found online at the following address www.superioroutdoors.ca (The issue is not online yet).If anyone wants a copy I can bring some copies of it down to the Western Challenge.

At of 1000 local time, Buffalo Lake, Buffalo MN was substantially frozen...

There are 4 signicant holes mid-lake and she's not suitable today.

It is a serious candidate for a primary location for the GREAT WESTERN CHALLENGE REGATTA

Lake Christina was fully frozen at sunrise Sat Nov 20, currently they're under a storm advisory with 4-6" possible.

With our current brisk temperatures, other lakes are in the process of freezing now...

as I understand there are half a dozen or so europeans are planning on coming, so we'd better find some ice over the weekend.

Plans are forming for ice searching/checking expeditions beginning Friday.

Unfortunatly due to an unusual warm front ,there is as of today no Lakes with Ice around or near Thunder Bay.The good news is a cold front is moving in so conditions could change fast.I will continue to update here and am keeping my fingers crossed for sailable conditions soon.As soon as I find ice I will report.
