Fountain Lake in Albert Lea, Minnesota


"Friday, April 8, will be recorded as Fountain Lake’s ice-out date for 2011, according to Bill Malepsy, the city’s lake ice observer since 1969. This is the 42nd year he has performed this public service.


He said the last slivers of honeycombed ice melted away in Edgewater Bay in the portion next to State Highway 13 and across from Bayview-Freeborn Funeral Home and the Union Center around 7 p.m. Friday.


Last year’s ice-out date was recorded as March 31."
