For more than 40 years, Caribou Lake residents Dick Herman, Bill and Lois Johnson, and Barb Misgen have been recording the dates that our lake has frozen and thawed. There are a few gaps in the data, but a pretty clear picture emerges showing patterns that repeat year after year.
Their records are shown here: Lake Freeze and Thaw Dates – Caribou Lake, St. Louis County, Minnesota
If you have any personal records that would help to fill in some of the gaps, we would appreciate your input.
