Someone was asking about Ice-Out on Minnetonka last week. I can tell you that our bay is now entirely ice-free (Harrison), and that several of the other smaller, shallower bays are as well. The big water is still about 90% ice, but it won’t be there long.
Thanks for the info 
I can confirm this as I flew over the lake this morning. The NW bays were all open and It looked like Grays was as well. From the air you can still see the paths that the cars and trucks took from shore to go out on the lake.
MN DNR Ice Out site this evening shows Minnetonka “Ice Covered” as of 4/11. Seems like most lakes to south of there are open. Will be checking Modis polar sat. views and wildlife cams tonight.USGS has great loon tracking page.
