Later-than-normal ice-out expected this spring in Minnesota

There are a lot of anglers and boat owners asking the same question at this time of year: When will I get my boat in the water? The ice-out period is just beginning in Minnesota, working its way from south to north. This spring some experts expect ice-out to be later than usual – unless a wave of warm weather arrives soon. Most likely, Minnesotans can expect to see ice across at least some of the state for the foreseeable future.
