AN EXPERT ON MINNESOTA LAKES SAYS YOU SHOULD EXPECT A LATE ICE-OUT THIS YEAR. JOHN DOWNING IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA’S SEA GRANT PROGRAM. HE HAS BEGUN TRACKING WHAT ARE CALLED THAWING DAYS BEGINNING IN JANUARY. THE MORE THAWING DAYS, THE QUICKER THE ICE IS MELTING. TO DETERMINE A THAWING DAY, HE USES SOMEWHAT OF A COMPLICATED FORMULA. ADD THE DAILY HIGH TO THE DAILY LOW, DIVIDE BY TWO, AND THEN SUBTRACT 32. IF YOU STILL END UP WITH A POSITIVE NUMBER, THAT WAS A GOOD DAY FOR MELTING ICE. SO FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN FEWER OF THOSE THAN NORMAL.
