You can see where the ice is going out. It looks like the Brainerd area is going out now. The west side of Mille Lacs is opening up. You can also view past days. It takes a little playing around to figure it all out. There must have been some fresh snow near eastern Lake Superior. It looks pretty cool, the ice is real visible there.

I drove around ML for a bit on Saturday and the ice was looking dark and thin. The wind had blown it up on the south west shore at some point. There was piles of ice on the shoreline.

Saturday's wind blew the ice back to the north east making the west side look open for a mile out.

It won't be long.

Today it looks like the ice is gone on Leech and Winni is almost half open.
