5/7/13 – Today’s Sawbill Lake ice report: 23″ of ice. The Sawbill Lake Ice Technicians had to hop across open water on the end of the dock to make their measurement. The ice hasn’t “floated up” yet, but that will probably happen today. Some of the smaller ponds along the road will probably lose their ice today. The local rivers are all ice free now.
The lynx video below has gone modestly viral on YouTube. It’s the most viewed and most emailed entry on the Duluth News Tribune website and was linked to on Facebook this morning by Minnesota Public Radio’s popular Morning Edition host, Cathy Wurzer. What fun! – Bill
