Farm Lake icing up!

This is what Farm Lake looked like this morning, a thin layer of ice scretching from our shoreline to the big island and beyond. The last couple of nights we've had temperatures below zero and no wind. Farm Lake is 30' at it's deepest point and approximately 1,300 acres. South Farm Lake is just off Farm Lake and located in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and is about half the acreage at 618 acres with a deepest point of 30'.
Smaller lakes in the Ely area have frozen over and the ice thick enough that people are already ice-fishing on them!
