Gettin' Cold
« on: Dec 03, 2005, 11:17 AM »
It has been cold here all week, around -10 but this morning when I got up and checked it was -17. There has got to be some hard water out there calling my me out with the auger now. I think I might take a trip tommorrow in my new "Ford Recovery Unit" (Ram 2500 4x4) and see what some lakes in them mountains are looking like. I have heard there is ice from some guys that were out last weekend but after this week being colder there must be 3" out there now.

Good luck JP. Let us know how you do and maybe post some pics.
Definately getting quite nippley here too. -26 on my hill this am. Very little snow so ice will be building. We have 4-7 inches.

I found two lakes frozen this afternoon while out. Mineral was completely frozen with 3" of ice where I checked but probably thicker at the far end. Monroe was covered with white ice, and had a few dark spots, should be safe in a week or so. Moyie had just started to freeze at the South end.
It was -24 C when I checked this morning and -15 when I left at noon for my drive in my new truck (01" Dodge Ram 2500). Currently -13 C here. Should be able to fish most lakes around here by next weekend as the ones I checked weren't that high up.
But I will be in Calgary watching the Senators beat the Flames on Saturday.

That would be Zedano Chara. (spelling?) He is 6ft 9inches tall so on skates he is huge. Hard guy to miss. Plays for Ottawa.

Snowed like hell here last 2 days. Kinda of leery about ice conditions now? Maybe a bit wet? Good luck down there. Let us know how you do.....

It has been snowing here too, highway was closed for most of the afternoon. But still cold enough I think to build ice even if it is snow covered.
