daisy_girl58 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Was hoping that Simcoe would have been freezing over by now... So it is freezing any up north yet? Or any expected winterization soon? Lorissa
Bernie Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Nipissing was well on its way to freezing over...Now it is virtually opened up..There is still hope for opening day but we will need a real good blast of cold to do it..X your fingers
Clampet Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Years ago it took several weeks to make a change in the weather. Nowadays, a couple of days can make all the difference. Get 2 days at -30 to -40 C and you'll have plenty of ice!
hawkeye Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 looking at the long range I just don't see the deep cold snap that we will need for Simcoe. Sat Dec 30 +2 and rain yuck
Fisherman Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 With this weather I can also understand the trend that ATV's are outselling snowmobiles 4:1, like hawkeye said, no cold in the long range.
musky66 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 About 7-8 years back I graciously sent my wife to Hawaii with some relatives...the plan was I would take 2 weeks of vacation...I had a plan...get the kids to school, head to Simcoe, sled and fish all day, return home for the kids...Big problem...no snow and minimal ice in Jan/Feb. Vowed to never waste vacation for my wife's sake again!
lew Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Their calling for + 13 for the Toronto region tomorrow and looks like it'll be staying above freezing for awhile yet. Last winter started the same, but the ice finally came in, although later than usual. Maybe there really is something to this global warming.

Yeah theres gotta be something to do with global warming...
tjsa Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 We do have ice up here in northwestern ontario, but it is not really too thick. Some places, guys are even driving vehicles(trucks) on it. NOT ME!!!!!!!! Wont even trust it for my quad right now really. Walking out, OK. But, I probably won't get out until after christmas, hope the bite is still on, but the moon phase does not hold and promise of that, lol.

muskymatt Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 Doesn't look good for Ottawa before the new year
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 its an el nino year. means warmer air for the northern hemishpere. But warmer air means more precipation which will mainly be snow come jan-feb.
fishindevil Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 yes lunkerbasshunter,they said on the weather channel its a big el-nino year and it does not look good for ice on the jan1st opener,even in the bancroft area,for 12 years ive fished there on jan 1st we have always had ice safe enough to fish on and put our 2 huts on the lake ,but this year is going to be questionable well theres not much that we can do except wait,it will come just not for when we want it to,mother nature is making ua wait in anticipation
Rizzo Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 a couple weeks from now we'll all be freezing our scones off, we'll forget all about this warm spell.
pameladallaire Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 The river in front of my house needs real cold to freeze. It was frozen last week and it's been open wide for days now. Pam
medic Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 We have ice, a group of us were out splake fishing yesterday through the ice. It's pretty wild though, the ice is 7and3/4 thick but since we have had no snow the ice is solid and clear.Which means when walking out on the lake we could see everything on the bottom, logs, sand bars, shelfs, garbage. It was great for finding the spots we wanted to fish, but a little freaky looking down and seeing all this stuff was making me feel a little nauseated. The splake were biting , but a little slow probally because of the clear ice. It was still great getting out !!!
daisy_girl58 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Posted December 17, 2006 Well I will keep my gear by the back door so I can load up the truck and head to great cement pond..... Well good news if you are in Alaska they are ice fishing! Lets load up and head there if it doesn't freeze! Till then I will keep playing Puzzle Pirates.... Thanx! Lorissa
