Up here, we just got a good 50cm from last night into this afternoon (took me about 6 hours to clear the driveway, around the house so I could peel some snow down to reduce the weight on the roof and take most of the snow off the house - all in preparation for the next round of snow that started just before dinner time). Already another 5-10cm on the deck. Enviro. Can has updated our region's alert and now, up to 100cm of snow is likely for some areas but we are preparing for another 20-25cm by tomorrow afternoon and then another 20-30cm from tomorrow night to Sunday morning before this is suppose to let up. Snow blower and snow peeler ready (although I may leave the snow up there because it may be much lighter and fluffier with the colder temps coming so some may blow off too). Very happy there is not a thin layer of ice on the lakes yet or this snow will insulate. Hopefully, all this snow will really cool down the lake so when the cold comes, the ice will form quickly.

Thankfully.... no ice, means no insulated blanket to slow down good quality ice.
Last yr was a disaster. We don't want or need a repeat.

Lucky punks! I went to bed hoping to maybe try my new toy today but we got nothing in North Bay.

I was discussing this with a Buddy.

Early snow can be great for ice formation IMO. Cools the water fast and if it cools enough you can get a wet slush layer that will lock up fast if it stays cold.
I sure hope this happens.

Whew, after a few hours each day to clear the snow, the sun finally came out and it was a nice day to be out there with the snow blower and shovels. I think we got 105-110cm of snow. Glad to hear that it may cool down the lake and help the ice formation...soon. Cold temps are coming - we are getting some minus double digits too...and no high temps breaking the 0oC mark. Hope for some calm nights with the double digits and no more snow! For now.
