Long range not looking good, New predictions for Kbay or bbp

Looked at the long range forecast and looks like this weekend we get another small blast of cold then a week of above 0 temps (showing Jan 16 to Jan 24 for Barrie). Not good for the ice making on the laker/whitie grounds. When do you think we'll be seeing the amount of pop ups out like cooks bay, keswick or vb did from this passing weekend. I'm thinking roughly mid feb to be honest when we see lots of people but that's not to say the daring won't venture out before then.

Just saw that myself. Very disappointing.
Looking like the end of jan before kemp is truly safe. Maybe even beginning of feb.

Mine shows just below zero temps for barrie

that forecast is a long way out and likely to change. They are horrible at predicting 14 days out...


come back to this post in 2 weeks and see if I'm right lol

I agree with fishfinder17. I don't trust the long range forcasts. But only time will tell.

And far too much snow which will weigh down the ice and make slush which takes forever to freeze.

Well this warm up we're having this week was on the long range, the temps have varied a little as well as the snow and rain amounts. But for the most part they do predict warm fronts coming and going. Trust me when I say I'm on your side with the long range being screwed up usually. I'm hoping they're wrong also lol I'm gunnin' for 1-2nd week of feb to get out on bbp but I am not holding my breathe. These warm fronts also don't mean there isn't safe ice else where too. I believe Mother Nature won't give us deep water ice for a couple weeks at least on simcoe. The coming and going warm and cold fronts make for some good winds too, look at what happened this summer. Those winds will f up a lot of what's formed already also. It is unfortunate, c'est la vie.

Stop sending out them negative waves Moriarty

Lol I know, I know. Not the first time I've heard that.

Have a little faith baby

Hands down, one of the best movies ever made. And so many of the cast were just coming into their prime

One of my favs as well

What do weather forecasters and politicians have in common?
They are both unpredictable
