Nothing yet, so be prepared for early spring fishing on Lake Ontario.

Global warming increased again last year so Lake Erie ice may be missing again this spring.

WSYR report on Great Lakes Ice Cover This year says get ready now!

[jimski2]

The Great Lakes ice field is now at 3.3% coverage. A small area of Georgian Bay is now the only iced over area. The air temperature in the Buffalo area is five degrees higher this month mainly due to the lack of Lake Erie ice.

So how's this " global warming "  BS looking now ? Weather report yesterday was for at least 75% ice coverage by this weekend. I do not see any above freezing temps forecast for the next 10 days. I am  glad climate has changed over the centuries, otherwise we would still be in the ice age ,,,,and I wouldn't be alive.                     Updated  as of 2/11 cover is now 80 % and should be 100% in a few days.

It's mid-Feb and just starting(ish) to get ice coverage, and quite later than normal.  I can't imagine the ice will get too thick.  Taking a peek at the future temps, looks to be a slight warmup after the weekend.

Coast Guard ice breakers are opening a channel on the Saint Clair River to alleviate flooding there and on Lake Huron. Always something new happens.

it will be shrinking this week!  Bring on spring!

Flew over Lake Erie on the way to Detroit on a clear day Wednesday.  Very spotty/little ice all the way past presque isle.  Only the far western edge of Erie is really “locked up”.  It’ll be another early spring with regards to Erie and Ontario.

Clear picture yesterday.

Some good strong SW winds will pile up the western basin ice fields on the eastern shores. The loose fitting ice will make huge piles along our shoreline here.

I saw my first Robin today. 👌

[jimski2]

If all the Western Basin ice is blown back to Buffalo., The Welland Canal will be packed up with ice  and the Niagara River will flow a lot of ice cold water for a while now.

Naw.

We had a perch fish fry this evening at Hoak's Restaurant with unlimited visibility.  It looked like solid ice all the way to Ontario.

I remember winters when the ice was three foot thick.  Strong enough to allow a steam locomotive to cross the lake. This year the ice is no where near as thick,
