Ice conditons on Nipissing

[tacklebox74]

I am heading out to Callander Bay on the 19th of this month. Has anyone heard anything about the ice conditions?

Check the weather network website and look at the forecast for Callander, On..........doesn't look good.

4" of Ice across the entire Lake.

4" across the whole lake?? I have problems with that??? Bays might be ok, but if there is 4" in the bays chances are that there is not 4" across the lake. Especially a big Lake like Nippissing. I would go in the bays no problem. But I sure would like to shake the hand of the guy that checked out the ice in the middle of Lake Nippissing, especially at 4".

I just read a report of only 2" on Callander Bay and Main lake open water, as of 6:00pm tonight.

Wallyboss ....... thanx .... just about to blast Pickerel Paul, the big lake is far from frozen, first 2 weeks for out fitters are F%c*d at callander, if you want to walk out with a floater suit and dont mind getting hypothermia its fine

Bowzog is in my same space ..... 14 day forcast from the weathernetwork.com
does not look good either, I have a bungalow booked for mid feburary, but it looks like I may cancel for this year

If you take a look at accuweather.com, looks like it might get cold, some people think its a better forcasting site, but i've yet to see them come closer than the weathernetwork............

my best forcaster ..... eye-witnes-weather ..... look outside and judge for yourself

At the time I posted my reply, I had just returned from Lake Nipissing.
I could see that the lake was frozen completely over. I was told by some locals that it was open just prior to that, and it has open up again due to the warm climes.

So blast away. Were you there?
I was.
