Johnsons Beach?, Ice

Anyone on Johnsons today? How's the ice? Is it worth it to go from Orillia?

Not safe

Wide open with white cap waves crashing around line 4.
With these winds and the direction we could lose all the ice today. Might be a floating ice berg towards the main lake with people tagging along until the waves destroy the 2-3" of questionable ice.
I am sure there are people out there and will be tomorrow but that is thier call.
Ill be waiting until Monday to re-assess.

The long range looks terrible. Next Sat Jan 21 calls for +12 other forecasts saying +9 in Barrie.
I think all the lake ice will be gone by Thurs or Fri with day tome highs of 4 and 5*c with wind.

I would avoid it but your call.

Lots of safe ice in Muskoka for Lakers.

I would have to side with Evanxrs on the sketchy ice. Checked it early afternoon with the spud drawing water/going through on one or two hits. Measured 2.5" to 3.5 or 4". Mostly white ice as well. A personal call here.

Friend of mine went out spudding today and said he was getting about 1" of black ice maybe and 1" of white on top of that.

Doesn't look good.

I was there today and it was 2 inches in places not safe at all so I'm gonna bring my mother in law tommorow

What colour coat will she be wearing? ("Just to identify the 'Unsub'!")

I don't know where you guys were but I spudded all the way from st Vincent st To downtown in the ice yesterday. 3-4 in of black ice it wasent that hard in the morning but hardens up as the day went on.

It seems like the safest bet on simcoe for Lakers and whiteys
Might check it out tomorrow

Yeah I never seen 1 inch.... Fished Johnsons today, 90 fow, 4 inches of Ice.

Yes. You got that right.

It was a total zoo on that battle ground this morning;-)

theres a sight for sore eyes.
