Howard Lake, in the town of Howard Lake, Minnesota


"As was noted last week, the ice was officially off Howard Lake the morning of March 19.



While that was one of the earliest ice-off dates in the past 70 years, it wasn't the earliest.



Back in 2000, the ice came off Howard Lake March 15, which is the earliest recorded time since 1950.



The second-earliest ice-off date came March 16, 1987.



The latest recorded ice-off date was in 1950, when there was ice on Howard up to May 2.



The ice usually comes off Howard around mid-April."
