clear sat images of simcoe ice, Dec 16/2017

Been a while since I posted but, ice season is my favourite I've been lurking on all kinds of forums and sites waiting for the ice to be safe. Yesterday has been one of the clearest days yet to get a good look on the satellite images from the noaa website, so I thought I would share the beautiful site of most lakes being frozen over and simcoes progress.

Most of zones 15,16,17,18.

Zoom in on simcoe

are you guys using an ap for that or just going on the website.

A buddy and I looked at couch Saturday and it looked very wet still, didn't even go out, even thought I wanted to test the new spud bar out!

This is the website I use, some days there's lots of cloud cover and you can't see anything. Lake Ontario image allows you to see simcoe pretty decently or use the synoptic view to see most of Ontario.

thanks for sharing

great, thanks for the info. sad couch wasnt ready saturday. i think it should be very good very soon!!

Well looks like ice is being produced! Might not get out until last week of December as the next few days doesn't look too promising to tighten er up. At least on Cook's Bay that is..

To be honest port bolster looks like it'll be ready first as usual. Caseys is gonna be packed New Years weekend, guaranteed; same with VB.
