First ice report of 2010 season


When the screaming winds subsided around noon on the 1st.Ice started forming.(this is the 3rd time and each time it would freeze the winds would pick-up and bust it up again)
The only open water is the big stretches to the South and East-expect they will freeze tonight-forecast is calm and -18c.
We started boating April 14th and put boat away Nov. 29th, longest boating season we have seen.
Its forecasted we may even see sun this week!! Only been 2 partial sunny days in past 2 weeks. Lots of cloud,wind and snow--more snow on ground now than all last year.
No word on ice roads yet, Sharon has been very busy this fall but I'm sure as time gets closer we will get a report from her.
This picture was taken looking North @ 16:00 on Dec. 01---this morning its solid ice as far as you can see.(a double left click on picture will enlarge it)
