There is some ice along the edges of Skaha Lake. In the shallow parts right next to the beach, the water is frozen all the way to the bottom, but about 10 metres (approximately 30 ft) further out, it’s a different story as I could see the ice undulating with the water’s movement.
The city has put up a sign reminding people that the ice is unsafe, but humans being humans, further down the beach I saw three people at least five metres away from the shore, walking on the unstable ice. Had they fallen in, they were too far away for quick help – someone else would have had to creep or crawl on the weak ice to get to them – and would likely have rapidly developed hypothermia.
Sometimes, safety isn’t only about yourself; it’s about others, too.
Happy Friday.
Lots of freezing rain …
… coating everything in ice.
Happy Wednesday.
We’re experiencing a warming period and all the snow from last week has softened and is beginning to melt.
This likely means that we will get more snow, but in the meantime, it’s sunny!
Happy Monday.
I hope the melting starts again soon.
Happy Tuesday.
I know that official spring has come along, but the subarctic weather up here doesn’t know that. There’s still more than enough ice and cold to go around.
Happy Sunday.
Happy Saturday.
An ice road disappears into a northern sunset.
Happy mid-week.
Yes, spring icicles are springing up, or rather, down, everywhere.
We’re supposed to have warmish weather over the next couple of days, so these icies will grow a lot. For safety, I’ve knocked down the ones over the door and will probably have to keep doing so for a while. There’s a lot of snow on that roof!
Happy Tuesday.
The more southern weather may have sprung into spring, but here it is still cold enough for the ice roads to be operating.
I’m looking forward to the melt!
Happy Friday.
