Duluth Quarry Park, MN
The model estimates whether ice has formed. Ice quality and bonding are not observable from weather data and are not modelled. How the model works.
The park makes this ice
Duluth Quarry Park is farmed: an operator runs water overnight and decides what exists in the morning. Whether ice is there is their answer, not this site’s, and their conditions page is the thing to read.
1 route across 1 area. None has a confirmed position, so they are listed here without a model estimate.
Cold so far
0 freezing degree-days since 1 October
No day has averaged below freezing yet. None of the last 15 seasons had one by this date either.
Each day that averages below 0 °C adds how far below: a day averaging −5 °C adds 5. Warm days are not subtracted, so a thaw that strips ice does not show here. Modelled at the climbs' typical elevation, not measured on them. It is not a prediction: early cold on its own has not predicted when ice arrives in the seasons this project has records for. Every season is measured over the same window, 1–6 October.
Access is yours to check
This site says nothing about whether you may reach or climb these routes. That is decided by whoever manages the land — a park, a forest, a city, a tribe, a private owner — and by permits, seasonal and wildlife closures and local law, all of which change. A route listed here is not a route you are allowed to climb, and a route with no restriction noted here may still be closed. Check with the land manager before you go.
