Went out to West Cove on Lac Ste. Anne today, found 6-7 inches of black ice with some white ice spots. Didn't go more than 100 feet from the boat launch. Caught one pike right at sunset

There is in the neighborhood of 6" of ice on all the lakes I was at this weekend. That includes small trout ponds and bigger lakes.

4-8 inches at pigeon lake from shore out to a heave , i did not cross the heave as there was some open water on the ice and it did not look safe.

North arm of Travers froze over this week, east/west arms are still open.

Rzr went through the ice already, only up to the wheels. Was trying to skirt around some rocks on the ice.

Drove up to Beavermines Lake and there were fishermen on it. Also went by Butchers Lake and there were 3 tents on it too.

Small lakes around Caroline/Sundre had 6" last weekend. About half of it good ice. Top half garbage. It was still in the "be careful" status when I was out there.

Default Calling Lake

Hello folks!
Just got off of calling lake 21-24" of ice depending on location. Pretty good trails coming off the provincial park and small heave to cross right at entrance. This might need to be mowed down if it grows any more. Approx 10" of snow on the ice and I was able to drive anywhere with the 4 X 4.

Cheers,
DaveF

Interesting how much more ice is at LLB. How deep is Ethel?
