april 27 - it's finally starting to melt away

It is not looking great for being gone for opener but it is starting to melt - still had fishermen out there today. WE came home from Minneapolis today and didn't see any open water other than the channels or rivers - ice fishermen on most of the lakes all the way back. Attachment 19645If the upper 60's temp keeps up for a couple more days they probably won't get out there next weekend.
Our harbor is starting to show signs of melting and the grounds in front of the beach. Birch Villa has already broken away from the shore of their beach, but that happened several times this winter too.
