5/3/25 – We’re still looking at ice on Sawbill lake, but it’s getting darker and darker by the day. Our low this morning was 27°F, but we’re now up to a balmy 65° and sunny.

Another plus to these clear skies is a MODIS satellite image over Lake Superior giving us a little more intel as to the status of ice elsewhere. From the below image taken just after 2:30 this afternoon it appears Kawishiwi Lake might be ice free, or at least very close to it. Perent Lake on the other hand has some ice hanging on and Brule still has a ways to go. -Jessica
