The Ice is Still Building on the Lakes

You can see our car out on the Lake Muskoka near Mortimer’s Point. We are driving on a construction road over the ice.

The ice was only 24 inches, a couple of weeks ago, and the weather was mild, and so we predicted an early ice out.

Since that time, the weather has been so cold, that we are building ice every day, especially when it really drops in temperature at night. There is now at least 30 inches of ice on the lakes. Since there is almost no snow cover, the cold goes right down and builds ice depth quickly.

The weather channel suggests that we will have cold weather for at least another two weeks. That could leave us with close to 36 inches of ice.

Our “ice out” prediction is moving to the end of April. “Sorry about that,” to those islanders who are eagerly waiting to get boats in the water.
