Any day now the ice should be starting to disappear over northern Minnesota lakes. This photo of Teal Lake in Grand Portage, MN was taken on April 2nd, when the temperature got into the upper 50's. Since then we have had a cool-down with our highs only getting into the mid to upper 30's. On the 2nd, though, it was a very warm day and things were changing rapidly. By the end of the day Teal Lake still had thick ice on it, but the surface of the ice was covered with giant melt puddles. If you look closely at the lake in this photo you can see the blue sky and clouds reflected in the melt puddles. With temperatures expected to rise into the low 50's again this weekend, we should see some more melting going on!
