Looks like the snow is of the light and fluffy variety and with those real cold temps coming, it'll still be making ice, even with a couple inches or so.

NOAA forecast is currently showing 12"+ of additional lake-effect snow and 28mph winds for us in the NWLP (Skegemog).

The winds here have not blown any snow to speak of off the ice, many lakes I checked were 95% snow on them, many with 3” snow. Wind blowing around 15-20 mph here

Some massive drifts on the lakes. Very weird looking.  Assuming that the constantly moving drifts may insulate the ice unevenly.  With the extreme cold I think we will still be good this weekend.

Currently 13 degrees with a 10 to 15 mph wind, mainly out of the West.  A good 5 inches of snow, light and powderly, in southern Caledonia today.

At 8 am  I shoveled 2 to 3 inches.  Since then I’ve got a solid 3 inches of snow.  Currently partly cloudy, subject to change in 2 minutes.

I have done the driveway and walks twice today, can't tell. It's windy, blowing snow around. Currently 11 degrees and falling here. I think by next weekend we should be good to go on most lakes.

Checked several lakes today , 2” most places, by shore, out where snow anywhere from 1-3” on ice , there was maybe 1 1/2” or less, drop spud thru. That will change as when holes get punched it will make quick !!
