ice-out in Manitoba?

[glendam]

Any lakes with open water yet? I have a trip on the 18th of May east of Lake Winnipeg and am wondering if anyone has any reports of open water?

Everything is still ice covered from the Canada/US Border north. Really hard to say what it's going to be like but I would be extremely surprised if our lakes weren't open by next weekend. It would take an act of God to prevent open lakes by the 18th. It should also make for an interesting bite pattern as the water temps will be ccccoooollllddddd.
