Lake conditions?

Post by Section8 »

Been trap'D in the stupid City of Appleton, N haven't been up to the cottage (on Arbutus) since late summer. Wondering what the Lakes are looking like... Descent ice? Any snow?

Locals are reporting plenty of ice. Not sure how much snow is on the lakes.

I have a place on Jungle Lake. Two weeks ago we had 5 plus inches of ice on the lake. This past weekend I didn't punch any holes in the lake but there were a bunch of trucks parked on the ice by the boat landing. Unfortunately there was a lot of water and slush under the snow. However with the recent cold I would imagine that would be freezing up real nice.

I poked a few holes in the ice this past weekend and there was about
10 inches of ice.
About 4 inches of snow on lakes before rain on sunday.

With all of the recent cold has the slush on the lakes been freezing up? Is there any slush left?

The Townsend Flowage as solid as you would like! We have over 8" of ice and the surface is froze over. It was -20 last night and still -15 this morning at 8am.
