DECEMBER 26, 2012 With the continuing deep freeze our benchmark lake for freeze-up, Temagami, is frozen. Yesterday only Ferguson Bay on the lake remained open. Today, we see no open water on the satellite image and call today as freeze-up. Lakes Wanapitei and Timiskaming remain open as they normally ice over later. Smoothwater's condition is not detectable.
DECEMBER 25, 2012 With a steady decline in temperature and a drop off in wind, freeze-up took a leap forward on the big lakes. Lakes Timiskaming, Wanapitei and Temagami, the regular laggards, are open, but they are joined by an unusual companion: northern Smoothwater.
DECEMBER 24, 2012 Freeze-up on the big lakes has actually reversed somewhat over the last ten days or so, slowing everything down.
DECEMBER 13, 2012 Stealing peaks between a parade of clouds, we can see progess.
DECEMBER 9, 2012 A brief parting of the clouds reveals minor progress, most obvious on Lake Nipissing.
DECEMBER 7, 2012 The small lakes are frozen, leaving the usual big-water laggards: Temagami, Obabika, Timiskaming, Wanapitei, Nipissing, Lady Evelyn lower basin, Smoothwater and Anima Nipissing. Cloud cover has blocked all satellite imagery for over a week. Bill Fox has posted on his blog ice-side photos from Gowganda in the northern end of the Temagami region.
