| The yard in Pine Island is half melted |
 |
| Squirrels are busy cleaning the left over birdseed |
 |
| The ice hasn't gone out in St Croix Falls at the power dam |
 |
| Looking up river from the dam -- ice extends about 2 miles |
 |
| North of St Croix Falls at the Lion's Park ice is still solid, although some water on the top |
 |
| Along the Old River Road 2 miles up the river is half open No chunks of ice this year so far |
 |
| Just south of Wild Mountain the river is fully open--and still open at Nevers Dam. |
 |
| View from the cabin overlooking the lake Doesn't look like melting yet |
 |
| Orr Creek has opened a narrow channel from the north into the lake. I expect to see geese, swans soon taking advantage of the open water. Most years, a pair of trumpeter swans show up this time of the year to claim the lake for nesting. |
