Goin' To The (Frozen) Lake: Frank & Chris Visit Gull Lake

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Every Thursday and Friday til the end of February, we're going to your favorite frozen lakes.

On Thursday, Frank Vascellaro and Chris Shaffer headed up to the Brainerd Lakes Area. Wind chills were recorded as low as 40 below, but that didn't stop the two from visiting Gull Lake in Nisswa – one of the cities in the area -- and its Grandview Lodge.
