Long term weather forcast

[Dara]

Looks like our regular Jan start to riding will happen, and we won't have to dress like we are in Yellowknife

pointe au baril froze up last night...its gonna get warm obviously and break it up...but its a good start! get those water temps to drop!

[chris.brock]

but i do remember in 2008...? riding a sled on the ice on december 14th!

I remember about 25 years ago, the last weekend in November, sledding on 10 inches of ice and a foot of powder in Haliburton.

 

 

The weather network says at least 2 weeks of well above seasonal temps starting tomorrow. I'm not counting on ice for the Christmas holidays.

Hoping for some more warm weather. Ottawa River, Larry and Quinte were slow to cool and the fish a little funky in the warm bath we had last week. Should be a couple weeks of prime fishing to be had yet.

Yup, just like Farmers' Almanac said it would!!

Those long term forecasts for the early winter? May be not accurate this year.

Things are just a little wonky this year at the poles

crappy photo...Can the peanut gallery please spare me from their lectures...this is not an endorsement of safe ice...don't be an idiot please.

[Sinker]

Good on ya man! Too bad there were no fish harmed!!

Oh man!that's the money shot Joey!!

 

All the ponds where skimmed over down here the last couple days.

 

Might be worth a quick check on some of my back bays!

[misfish]

Little was a mirror when I past it. To bad no cold temps to make ice. Above 0, all this week.

[Terry]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[NAW]

That's rubbish.

[NAW]

This is very true. Specially this year. Things have been funky to say the least.

 

I'm just going to stay as optimistic as possible! And maybe I'll get lucky and Joey will invite me out for an early season back lake trout hunt.. I have a quad now eh Joey..

That sounds great Nick! We're above zero and pouring rain here too, I'm thinking the weekend of the 9th-10th until I can get on the lakes I wanna get on the most.

im predicting the 17th as the first saturday...next weekend i think is just a bit too soon. Long range looks great though, 1 week of cold to get the ice going and another to solidify it and it will be ready for a stroll.

PAB maybe, Id be very surprised if the backlakes around here arent walkable in a week.

[misfish]

Dont put the lawn mower away just yet. They say now, above norm temps all through December. LOL

I think those who already have ice owe the rest of some ice fishing videos and reports (with photos) to keep us entertained and hopeful while we wait for our own ice!

[Old Ironmaker]

I really do hope for ice, including here on Erie. When the lake freezes over strong massive (60KPH plus) winter winds are not as prevalent. Those last 2 mild winter did much shoreline damage along the lake. About $1000.00 at my place alone. Added all together it has to be in the millions of dollars of damage no one really talks about. Shoreline living, it sure sounds nice.
