Big Cliff Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I just had a look at the long range forecast for our area, temperatures way above normal for the next two weeks could make for some really dangerous conditions especially in areas where there is any current. Long range forecast for Lindsay Doesn't look like they are expecting much snow. Could make for some very comfortable fishing as long as the ice stays safe.

Jer Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I wouldn't trust those "14 day trend" graphs very much. I check them regularly and it's surprising how the long range outlook can change drastically from day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not being an ice fisherman Cliff, I'll take all the warm weather we can get Actually, we've had a very tame winter down here in the Smoke so far this year with almost no snow, infact I've only shovelled maybe twice and both of those times was only an inch or 2 and even now there's only a couple inches on the ground. I'm heading to Peterboro this morning to take care of some business then stopping into the local dealership to purchase a new snowblower & riding mower for my up-coming move north, but right now I'm thinking maybe I'll just order the mower and leave the blower till next year.........wishful thinking I spose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I guess it would be asking too much for ice conditions around here to stay the same all winter. Right now, the ice is perfect for travel, 2 or 3 inches of snow. Easy walking, sledding, 4-wheeling and even driving where the ice is good and safe. I havent drilled a hole less than 12" since opening day. That guy who put his ATV through with his little kid under the Bridgenorth causeway must have been a complete moron. There is open water under the bridge all the time, only the sleds at speed ever attempt the crossing (and personally, I think they are a bit daft as well), but to attempt on a 4-wheeler (with your kid a board, no less) makes absolutely sense.

chrispyke Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 You know what...I'm all ready a little concerned about the ice. I was out on Sunday and noticed a couple of these hair line cracks showing up...that were not there the day before....and that is with the high temp of around -4. My hut has lots of ice under it, much more than the 5" close to shore....wouldn't want to punch my sled through the ice coming off the shore. I think I'll be walking out a bit just to be safe.

Sinker Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I don't trust TWN at all, when it comes to long range forcasts. Try this one, they are usually pretty close, but their short term sucks. http://www.accuweather.com/canada-forecast...;postalcode=K9V 1A3&metric=1&set=1 S.

ciceri Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 They do that for the people that hate winter, they see that and get all excited, then boom, cold! Then it happens again, but boom, clipper drops a foot of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCTFisher9120 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Lets hope for the best and see how it plans out. Useually they are wrong about great summer weather in that long range. A few degrees above for a High temp might now be that bad if we stay below 0 and below -10 at night. Wait and see I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 We had our Indian summer in November and it looks like our January thaw is on time... A couple of years ago we had it in February and it made the Tyler Event iffy but we ended up in a deep freeze well before and the ice was good...

Cookslav Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ah its not to bad? Kitchener says no higher then 4 or 5 degrees for the 22nd and 23rd but overnight lows are well into the minus 4-5 range as well. As long as the lows stay in the negatives any damage done in the afternoon will quickly be refroze between 6pm and 6am The 22nd however shows a bit of rain in the forecast.... couple of days with +1 and +2 temps are no big deal, but with some rain and a couple of +5 days....it could get sketchy near shore. I have my fingers crossed as I'm headed out on a trip that weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
