I rarely make any predictions but I’m going out on a limb here.
My prediction is that Mille Lacs will freeze over on Monday November 30th, 2020.
That’s right folks. This morning when I woke it was dead calm and the lake was iced over.
I held off on my prediction waiting to see if the sun today or any wind may have dissolved it into open water once again. The sun has now set and the ice is unbroken.
The official clincher?
My neighbor hurled a grapefruit out there expecting it to plunge through the skim ice. It did not, but bounced a bit and is still sitting out there.
That’s the proof we need that there’s more than just skim, let’s go with 2%.
Dead calm out there tonight. Tomorrow we’ll try throwing cantaloupe out there.
