Man, wide open with almost a week of -20 to -30? Wow. I don't think I've really seen the lake during the early winter.

I live a block from the lake, every night I go by thinking hurry up and freeze! Last year it did not freeze until 18th of Dec. We had -40 and lower then.. Big deep lake with lots of waves. Supposed to be calm next week so hopefully will finish it off.

Has to be frozzen over now ! Dec 12

Nope,frozen 800-1000m from shore, middle, still open as of 4pm today

The latest Cold Lake was open is 14th of Jan. Avg... is 18th of Dec. No wheres near yet maybe next weekend will be solid...

This is a big lake that the wind keeps open and takes a long time to acclimatize. Hoping to be ice fishing in Jan.

Cold Lake Officially froze yesterday!! Of note the way through the Provincial park is not possible for 98% of vehicles at this time as there is a big build up of ice from waves pushing up water. At least 12 to 18 inch straight drop to lake surface. Anybody have a chainsaw? Either or will be a while before the ice will be safe for vehicles.

Get out there with an axe or something, make that lake accesible for us!!!

I was thinking about the axe.... But I would only take enough off to get my truck on So bring your hairdryer with a 12volt connect for your car if you are coming up!

My trucks lifted, I'll be ok with whatever you do there...
