Poplar Lake Ice Out Earliest in Memory

With temperatures in the 50s an 60s this past week the ice in Poplar Lake melted away on April 18th. We have been living on the Gunflint for over thirty years, for twenty eight of those years we lived on an island on Poplar Lake. So needless to say we kept track of the lake's ice conditions. Ice-out this year is the earliest we have ever seen.
