Lake L'Homme Dieu near Alexandria, Minnesota


"Lake L'Homme Dieu's last bit of ice melted away on Friday, April 2 this year, making it the earliest ice out in 10 years."
"The last time the ice retreated so soon was in 2000 when it left on March 25."
"This year's ice out as determined by official Echo Press lake watchers was 19 days earlier than last year's April 21 date and a full month ahead of 2008's May 2 ice out.


The April 2 date is tied for the fifth earliest ice out in the 143 years the newspaper has been keeping track of the occurrence."
