.Hauling water in mid. Feb. - drill a hole, insert pump and fill containers

02/15/2010 One must be aware of the danger of pressure cracks that occur as the ice thickens, expands

and plates move together pushing upwards. A recents snowmobile fatality in North Bay has been

attributed to the snowmobiler hitting one of these during bad light conditions.

Strong winds in Dec. and Jan. took down many trees around cottages. February 15, 2010

Jan. 23 and we discover that Gary De La Chevrotiere (Is. 660) created the skating rink

Ron Miller sends a few air photos on Jan. 6 indicating clearly

that travel conditions remain unsafe

Allan Eustis sends this image on Jan. 4.  Strong winds are

keeping the lake open.

Allan Eustis sends along this satellite image from Dec. 30 - west side of lake is ice free (dark blue/black).

Other places probably have lots of snow but little ice thickness.  Lake Nipissing to the south

has good ice - compare the white colour of two lakes to see that Lake Temagami ice is still quite thin.

On Boxing day the temperatures are rising, ice is not so secure and fog lifts

off the lake - Photos by Bob Farr

By Dec. 22 residents are snowmobiling to the landing from the Hub areas.
