Ice surrounded the docks of Lake Harriet as temperatures dropped below zero on Sunday in Minneapolis. This is the latest into the winter that Minnesota lakes have frozen over.
Organizers of the Art Shanty Projects, an annual art event on Lake Harriet, are pushing opening day back one weekend to Jan. 27 because, as of Thursday, there still was open water on Lake Harriet.
"Incoming subzero temperatures are giving us hope for a deep freeze," officials said Friday on social media. Sunday and Monday's temperatures - with highs hovering near zero before wind chill - will certainly help the cause.
It never has taken this long for the south Minneapolis lake to be fully covered with ice. It is joining a long list of lakes across the state - including Lake Minnetonka and Lake Waconia - that are freezing over at the latest dates ever.
