Practical Water Wisdom: Minnesota Lake Thaw Tracker
Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant in hearing the Minnesota Lakes Thaw forecast as part of the Practical Water Wisdom webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG.
John Downing of Minnesota Sea Grant will present his 2026 lake thaw forecasts and show you how you can win your ice-out pool for your favorite lake. Sea Grant’s Minnesota Lakes Thaw Tracker yielded accurate ice-out forecasts for 2024 and 2025. This year, the models have been improved and now give forecasts for any lake you choose. The new models consider snow, latitude, how big the lake is, cumulative cold, and cumulative thawing.
This webinar is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
