Ice leaves biggest metro lakes Published Apr 17, 2002 A milepost in the march of seasons was reached Monday night and Tuesday morning when winter's ice cleared out of two of the metro area's biggest lakes. Official ice-watchers declared White Bear Lake ice-free just before midnight Monday and Lake Minnetonka clear at 2:34 a.m. Tuesday. Despite the mild winter and late formation of ice, the clearing date is about average. Records for White Bear Lake go back to 1928, while ice-out for Minnetonka has been noted for most of the last 148 years. Warmth and wind also blew the ice off Lakes Harriet and Calhoun in Minneapolis on Sunday. April 14 was the same date their ice disappeared a year ago, following a long and nasty winter. Medicine Lake also cleared Sunday, followed by Lake Waconia and Forest Lake on Monday.
