Ice out Web site

[dwag70]

I thought I saw a link on this site to a web site that listed ice out over the last few years ? any one remember that or know of one ?

[DEADhead]

here is a link from the state climatologist page listing historical ice out dates:

http://climate.umn.edu/doc/ice_out/ice_out_historical.htm

as well as current ice out status:

the current info is still from 2005; I'm sure the 2006 info will be posted when ice out nears. Hope this helps.

Hey dwag,

Did you spend anytime on White Bear this winter?

Thanks for the site !!!

I got out only twice this year on white bear (kid started hockey this year) Did pretty well on the crappies by the island a lot of 9" fish ... Tried the other time by the bar for walleyes !!! not a thing ..I just cant catch a walleye out of that lake to save my life ..be it hard water or open LOL.. In fact I have been told I can shut the walleye bit down just by showing up and sitting in the parking lot LOL How bout you ?

bump. Now that the ice is actually going out this may be of some value if you're thinking about taking the boat some place.
