NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch01 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share 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!

Sinker Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Weather underground has been really good for me. Their wind reports are deadly. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share 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.
