You are probably looking for first-hand accounts of ice conditions on the northern lakes, but you might also find this useful as well while you wait for others to chime in:

Yep - same here in Lakeside. Although, I quit clearing the snow about a month ago and am now on the "It'll melt" plan. Just yestarday though, I ran up to the cabin (halfway between Two Harbors and Ely) to start clearing out the snow. It was still knee deep on the driveway.

Large/deeper lakes in the Arrowhead I'd bet alot of $$ right now have some ice on them on fishing opener (if not able to ice fish a few of them). and yes- you can use two lines if your on the ice.

Where is your ice?"
nctry lives near Goodland MN by Grand Rapids.
May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

This morning in East Grand Forks MN. Eight inches of snow.
But the ice was off the pond on the river in Thief River Falls MN so there is hope. Would have added a picture but it’s not working this morning may be me, recovering from the wings at the great wing night on Wednesday. Thanks Adam and Gray Duck Canoes!

In my fridge... haha!
Every morning now I look out and think of the movie Ground Hog Day... I’m 100 miles basically west of Ely. West side of the Iron Range. Typically the ice would be out and it is trying. We have a couple nights here we could actually make ice. But I’m pretty confident we’ll only be a couple weeks late at the most. When it goes, it goes fast. The Arrowhead region of Minnesota is a little behind that. But I’m guessing it’ll be out at least a week before opener... most lakes anyways. The sun will be out and that has as much or more effect then the temps this time of year. I used to shutter the week of ice out because old Bernie was so excited about it she’d go play on the same stuff I rescued dogs from. She’d play on the ice and it was a game to her to fall in and climb back up on it... all while having a big chunk of ice in her mouth.
