Ice Report - Lake Nipissing


Clampet

Recommended Posts

December 26 Arrived Lake Nipissing Lookout on Hwy 17 westbound about 5 kms west of North Bay.

Lake showing open water about 1 km from shore.

 

December 28 lake frozen for as far as the eye can see, with about 3" of snow.

Temps were -13 C at night and -4C during the day.

Wish we could get a few -20 celcius temps a bit further south.

It just doesn't feel right not having ice on L.Simcoe. At least a few inches on Cooks Bay to get

the season started would be nice.

 

Heck, what's a Canadian winter without ice ?

 

"Florida" :w00t:

im in North Bay now. its -9 1145pm Drove by the lake today down by the town docks, there is ice but not alot. Was in Callandar today too and there was no sign of anything or anyone on the ice leading me to believe its nowhere near safe yet.

 

Hate to bring bads news but the forecast up here is warming up to +temps next week too.

 

I really feel for the business owners up here that rely on the ice!

setomonkey, 3 inches is enough for walking on...and ice fishing with care.

 

I would say 3" is the minimum requirement for walking, the question you have to ask yourself is " is it 3'' everywhere you're walking" ?? or is there a soft spot, underwater spring or current. be safe!
