NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Who do you use for a decent long term weather forcast? I looked at the weather network today. In their "calender" part of the website for Barrie, it is showing some great daily lows. Steady nights with double diget lows starting mid December. I don't want to jinx myself. But I really hope I'm on the ice earlier this year than last!
Dutch01 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 If you believe them, Accuweather is forecasting out to February 18 right now ? http://m.accuweather.com/en/ca/port-bolster/l0e/extended-weather-forecast/1214 If they're right, it looks great for early ice!
cheaptackle Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I saw some ice in the shallow weeds - North end of cooch when I was coming down 11 this morning. Just in case y'all want to go visit n' git all excited! Michael
Dara Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) A friend just reported that Muscolunge bay has ice on it this morning. it's -10 right now so thats a good sign. My sled is getting clutch work done and should be ready in a few days. Bring on the snow Edited November 22, 2016 by Dara

If it wasn't for Farmers' Almanac and Wiarton Willie I'd have no idea what to expect!!
Old Ironmaker Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 We use the Weather Rock here. It's never wrong.
Sinker Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Weather underground has been really good for me. Their wind reports are deadly. S.
NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Posted November 22, 2016 I also have the Weather Underground App on my phone and it seems to be pretty accurate. I've looked at a few different websites, and for the most part, they are all calling for the same weather in the coming month. Which is great. I am being very optimistic here.. But a nice feed of fresh Crappie before Christmas might actually be a reality this year!
manitoubass2 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Another for weather underground or wunderground app. Most accurate in my area by a longshot Edited November 22, 2016 by manitoubass2
Terry Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I am being very optimistic here.. But a nice feed of fresh Crappie before Christmas might actually be a reality this year! Sounds good to me I'm off work from dec20 to Jan 8. So I am hoping for ice
Headhunter Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I can always tell it's cold outside when I go outside and it's cold. HH
DRIFTER_016 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I use 3 different sites to try and predict what our weather will be long term. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/weather/northwest-territories/yellowknife http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/yellowknife/x1a/weather-forecast/49534?p=accuweather http://www.yr.no/place/Canada/Northwest_Territories/Yellowknife/ Yes I know the last one is in Norway, but they are pretty accurate most of the time. I guess Norwegians have a lot of time to look at weather maps and stuff!!!
NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks Drifter! The one from Norway is cool, but it doesn't show the daily lows! I'm very interested in the night time temps.
DRIFTER_016 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks Drifter! The one from Norway is cool, but it doesn't show the daily lows! I'm very interested in the night time temps. If you click on long term and scroll down to the detailed long term forecast you will see it gives you projected temps at 6 hour intervals. You actually get 2 night time temps per day early (5PM-11PM) and late (11PM-5AM) as opposed to one low temp. You can actually see how fast the temp is actually going to drop.
NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Posted November 22, 2016 Well fancy that! I should pay more close attention! You got any ice up there yet?
AKRISONER Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 its been a long friggin time since weve had december ice...even that damn cold winter didnt produce the goods...its been even longer since I was able to snowmobile on the ice in december, but i do remember in 2008...? riding a sled on the ice on december 14th! regardless, all i need is 2-3 inches to walk out and get my pike on...is that too much to ask for for christmas?
DRIFTER_016 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Well fancy that! I should pay more close attention! You got any ice up there yet? Some, behind a week or two this year.
jimmer Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 The lower end of Pigeon Lake froze across last night in many places, probably opened up again though.
huzzsaba Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Another for weather underground or wunderground app. Most accurate in my area by a longshot I started a thread similar to this last year and you recommended wundeground and I have been using it ever since! Pretty accurate I must say!
misfish Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Sounds good to me I'm off work from dec20 to Jan 8. So I am hoping for ice I am being very optimistic here.. But a nice feed of fresh Crappie before Christmas might actually be a reality this year! Ok, Im in too, but I have to work 27-30,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Non-Union.
Joeytier Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Couple brookie lakes skimmed over around here...-8 tonight will help!
manitoubass2 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I started a thread similar to this last year and you recommended wundeground and I have been using it ever since! Pretty accurate I must say! Glad you like it! Its a great tool for me at work or fishing. It tells me almost exactly when its gonna rain etc. So that helps me pack up my equipment in time.
