at last check, WBL was around 1/3 or more open. It should easily crack open complete by this weekend - at least better than 90%. It's probably not a good call for today, though. I'm thinking of heading to the river today.

WBL still frozen

slowly opening...
The WBL lake cam (http://www.wbycsail.org/) is showing the Mahtomedi end of the lake still pretty covered with ice - very black ice - as of 7:45 this morning.
There seems to be a strip of open water stretching to the penninsula now, probably from the open area in the west end of the lake. (The WBL cam is in the east end of the lake, and can only see about 50% of the water - from the pen. east.)
If the wind clocks west enough, I'll be at Bellaire today for the WBL opener!
