Barry Willis Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Not in my neck of the woods. This started Wednesday afternoon and didn't stop until last night. -15 this morning. Over 30 cm of snow on the lakes I want to get out on. Now all this snow is going to keep the ice from building up as quick as I would like. Oh well, tis the season I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not even had to clear snow at all so far this winter, unheard of, it rained all day yesterday and I can see my lawn again….crazy! I am now worried about our pipes freezing with no snow insulation, not a good feeling, I’m never really eager for it to snow, but it needs at least what you’re getting before the temperatures drop….and they will…. Lol. Edited December 9, 2023 by limeyangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Willis Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Well I hope you do get some snow before it gets cold and set your mind at ease in regards to your pipes freezing. It's the best insulation there is. I just dug my carrots on Tuesday before this snow came and dug my potatoes two weeks before that which is unheard of this late in the year as the ground is usually frozen hard as concrete. This is actually our second big snow fall but I kept my garden covered with tarps so the soil didn't get saturated with moisture. I'm not very fond of the snow either especially since I can't get my snow blower to start LOL. 30, 40 years ago I loved it, couldn't get enough of it.

Fisherman Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 A balmy +11C here today, what little snow we had is GONE, hopefully for a long time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Looking at the long range forecast, it's going to be a while before we can ice fish in southern Ontario. Hopefully, it's not like 2002...most Simcoe operators didn't even get their huts out that year. That was an El Nino winter, just like this one.

Barry Willis Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I under stand this is a far cry from Ontario's weather as I lived there for over twenty years (born and raised) and now live about 3000 km west and north in Calgary, I believe it was around 1984 we had a chinook wind on Christmas day and on the way to visit my wife's sister and family I had the air conditioning on in the old Dodge as it was in the mid to high 20's. On the other hand I've seen the high ways shut down the month of July in and around Calgary due to blizzards. We never know what to expect from one season to the next out here.

Terry Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Yeah not looking good, even the bottom of Cooks could be well into January before there’s good ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LefroyFisherman Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 It's certainly been a later start to the seasons the last bunch and does go longer, but still... Guess I'll take the little boat to Angus between Xmas and new years a few times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I’m actually now a bit rattled that my boat is out of commission. 14 degrees and sunny, I should be out in the boat still if we aren’t going to have winter anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrowMan Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 I don't bother to "winterize" my Lund...I'll bring it from Frontenac to my place in Oakville, and fish the lower Niagara (on the right day) right through winter..Once Erie freezes, it's clear water right through to break up.
