irishfield Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Amazing what 4 days... even with temps below 0C can do on Georgian Bay. Oh and a shot of that dock again, to show how stupid you'd need to be to run into it on a sled!
Old Ironmaker Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 A few weeks back there was open water about 5 miles out here in Erie where the icebreaker (Griffon maybe?) made it's way from Nanticoke to the mouth of the Grand River. The only sign of spring around here is the Grand is 100% open. That cut 5 miles out has frozen over not long afterwards. I don't remember ice out here so late. Even with last years crazy amount of snow Erie was breaking up by now. According to my calendar it says Spring has been here for a few weeks. Here's a good one. My next door neighbour is a snowbird. I picked her up at the Hamilton airport on the 15th of this month, she went down on the 15th of December. I talked to her the day before her return flight and suggested she might think about staying for a few more weeks at least. I got a call today from her asking if I might be able to drive her to the airport next Tuesday. She is going back to Fla until spring actually arrives. Why not, I sure would? M2B2 is saying they have had plus temps for a while now. As far as I know he lives within the Arctic watershed. When we left to go to the BassMasters fishing swap meet in Hamilton this AM the truck said it was -12C at 07:30, when will it ever end?
