Ice Report - Harriet and Calhoun

[dreamshark]

It's going fast. On both lakes the ice sheet is coming loose from the shoreline along most of the lakeshore, although not floating completely free. Harriet is further along than Calhoun, especially along the north side, with long channels rotted through the ice to the water below, and a few larger areas of open water. A few optimistic ducks were paddling around in a small melted area right by the south shoreline.

I predict that the ice will go out completely on Harriet next Saturday, and the following day on Calhoun.

I biked 9 miles today, around both lakes. It seemed easy enough until I got to the far side of Lake Calhoun and really started to feel it. Now I'm completely exhausted. But I'm glad I didn't stop with the easy ride. My goal is to get to the point where I can ride to work and back by the end of April. It took me until July last year.

I've seen a few ducks around, too. They've got to be finding open water here and there. :)
