muskymatt Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 In 36 hrs it has gone from 2 ft of snow to bare trails, flooded lakes and flooded stream and rivers. I guess I can put the sled away for a while and no chance I'm going to go stand in shin deep water on the ice. What a bummer. I absolutely hate January thaws. Weatherman says its going to hit negative temps around noon here in eastern Ontario and will be -10 by 5pm. We will get a trace of snow but it will take lots more than a trace for the snowmobile trails to reopen. Stay safe folks, don't risk your life for a fish. Hope for winter to come back!!
Terry Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Already minus temps here and freezing rain lakes might be ok Sunday but I don’t think tomorrow will be a fishing day
chris.brock Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 We hit record temps here in the GTA yesterday, 13.2C. It was a nice change but yeah, the snowmobile trails took a beating. Next weekend looks good for ice fishing. Things should freeze back up this week then comfortable temps on the weekend.
OhioFisherman Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 It was like 60f here yesterday, the snow is gone, but only to make way for all the winter storm warnings out for today and overnite.
irishfield Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 -6C and snowing here in Ptang.. gonna be -15 by 6pm. We lost a good 2.5 feet of snow from Wednesday to 7am this morning.
grimsbylander Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Snow is 100% gone and though I don't like what the flaw does to the ice fisherman and snowmobilers......YEAH!!!!!

LOL All will be good Saturday buddy. You know where I,ll be if your skating out.
Old Ironmaker Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 See that this AM +12 and tomorrow AM -12C. 24 degrees C is a huge drop in temperature. It should smooth out the ice for you die hards.
LeXXington Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Just getting down to -0- in GTA -9 tonight..

irishfield Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Not sure on that Misfish... I've never seen so much water. My laneway.. in my own laneway, not the concession Rd.... culvert is full to the top with water, water has overflowed the other culvert inside the gate and is running across the end of my laneway, etc. Until that stops flowing under the insulation of the remaining snow it's gonna be a mess!

misfish Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I was out after work Wayne last night. It was not that bad out there. This north wind is going to firm it up real nice. If it hasn't already. Walk is not far. Fish are shallow. And my new korkers are so nice for walking on that stuff. Edited January 12, 2018 by misfish

Tjames09 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 the snowmobile trail in Kawartha Lakes is completely gone down to the dirt. The lake looks really sketchy right now, Ill be careful the next time im out there

Terry Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 a buddy was out from ibp on his atv the water was up to his foot rest on the bike so thats like a foot of water
grimsbylander Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 ^^^^Freezing FOG!!! It's not enough to have freezing rain, freezing lakes, freezing feet, freezing ur azz off....even the dang fog freezes!!! lol
ONbuckhunter Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 The thaw is good for me. Now the lakes don't have snow and will be perfect to access with atv by tomorrow aft. Even sleds should be able to get around on the ice with the snow were getting now. The bigger lakes may take a another day to tighten back up though. Its a win for ice fisherman but not so much for snowmobilers.

GBW Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 This thaw flooded part of my basement yesterday. Found a new crack in the foundation too. Now to see if I can fix it outside before I rip apart the finished walls in the basement so we know where my fishing time is now going...
