Well, the ice sheet on Lake Harriet is no longer a sheet of anything, but it isn't exactly gone. What's left of the ice has disintegrated into floating slush, all of which has been blown to the west side of the lake. From the east the water looks clear as a summer's day, but a circuit of the lake reveals that maybe 20% of the water surface is still covered with strange-looking globules of almost melted ice.

Calhoun? Much the same. Lake of the Isles, however, seems to be completely ice free.

Note that I know this because I circled all three lakes today - first time this season. It's 12 miles.

I went driving to Hudson on Friday, via small roads. I saw one patch of pristine white snow at the side of the road as I was driving. So spring is still springing.

Just for the record

The official ice-out day for Lake Minnetonka was just 2 or 3 days after Harriet went out.
