I would have hoped that far north would have lot's of ice on the lake, 2-3 ft at the very least. Hope all are safe.

I was up in Clarmont, just north of Pickering, today. Lot's of farms and barely enough snow for them. I saw a news report last year that farmer's need atleast 3 ft of snow for the spring melt to moisten the earth. Without it they'll have to rely on irrigation from underground wells. That cost more for them and gets passed on to the consumer.

Never thought that snow fall would affect farmers... Test the ice and watch them ice reports before doing anything stupid guys...

Ouch!
First is for the ice, seems like a wasted season (I am getting my boat ready)
Second is for the price of veggies and produce that we are gonna pay more.
Nevertheless, they both suck!

Have to be very careful.
Make ice grabbers: Take a old wood broomstick cut into 2 pieces 6 inch long, drill small pilot hole in center core of each piece, get 2 deck nails (3 1/2 inch ardox) hammer into drilled holes, cut off head of nail to leave a sharp point. If you fall thru ice use to dig into the ice to pull yourself out. Keep rope with you and never travel alone.

Did you see this on the news or come across it online? Id like to see it
It was either the Weather Network or the news from last year. The farmer predicted a tough season of growing without more snow.
Good advise Grub,

I saw a pair of nested ice "grabber/crawler", Here is a drawing I made of nested (they close into each other so you stab yourself). Put them on a lanyard around your neck and they are ready anytime. Paint them bright orange. Someone sells them, but so easy to make it.

But! You know the REAL RULES! When it comes to Mother Nature there ain't any!
Pics below have an explanation on them, or Below with the File and Size.
The one that might prove my point is the one from Last Year with the Helicopter. 24 Seasoned, Veteran, Fisherman, fishing on 6" of ice.
I read the article. They said "We aren't Stupid (I AGREE) but all of a sudden the ice just started moving in all directions. All we could do was look for the biggest piece and Jump onto it. All our Huts and Equipment went to the Bottom."
The truck, SUV was on 12" of ice. Moving or Parked I don't know. Heat from the Motor if Parked?
The other one has an explanation with it. That's this Past Monday on the Muskinonge River. Think I recognise the area. In the Background, you can't see, is Boston Pizza where the Marina use to be.
Think I'll stick with "Soft Water Fishing". All that can happen then is you fall out of the boat and Drown.
SHOOT! Well maybe Shore Fishing???
