Bets on the NSR ice break up?

[Darren N]

Drive over it twice a day and I think it's getting close to having a total break up and flow. I figure maybe this Monday the 26th. too soon? Any other guesses?

Depends where I guess when it starts to break up here it's almost a month before it stops flowing down past the fort

There was an ice flow today, was cool to watch, caught some huge pike today, will post pics and videos later, give it 1 week

I've been thinking the same thing. I drive over the groat bridge twice a day and it won't be much longer.......I'm guessing next wed. the 28.

With this snow and recent cold snap since I started the thread you may be right. Personally it cannot happen fast enough.

Back in the day, they used to drive an old beater car out into the middle of the rivers each winter.......... when the car dissapeared it was officially broke up.......... whoever guessed the closest day/hour won the pot!!!!!!!

Buddy of mine said they'd do this on the lakes in Manitoba every year and have a chain hooked to it to pull it out in the spring.
