Will We Ever Get Ice?

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!

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.

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.

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 !!!
