    Looks like they’re still stuck down on 12.

    The average date for ice out on Pepin is March 27th. Don’t think that’s going to happen this year.

    my kid got married this weekend.. and driving up the river, the water below the dresbach dam is open on the main channel well past down town LaCrosse, and both the old and the main channels are open for a few miles above the Dresbach dam.. I beleive as far as Dakota.. if not further.. after that I was too in a haze to concentrate.
