-27 Cel Wind Chill Forecast for tomorrow night.......now that gets our attention!!!!!

Our lake is like a fiqure 8, with our cabin located in the centre Narrows The portion west of us is 3km long with a depth of 128'.  The smaller portion east of us is 2 kms long with a maxium depth of 100'. 
The Narrows is about 400 ft  (150 meters) wide   8 ' deep and 1/2 km long.

Ice starting
I could hear a bulldozer coming!!!!  Looking out and there was Bryan destoying the ice.  He had made a pass first to see if the wave was benging the ice.  Then he did the Ice Breaker thing.  The first 20' in and the second closer to shore.

Holding boat at the right speed to create a big wave..... first pass......ice is about 3/4" thick. 

End of first pass.   When he had completed the second pass the Opaque Ice had turned translucent and slushy.  Hopefully this will give us a few more days to be able to reach the west portion of the lake by boat.

another marten...... and we haven't really put out the trapline for them yet.  We are just finishing off water trapping.

  3. -27. About the same temp over here in Fort Nellie. BBrrrrrrrr, cold wind too. It feels real cold especially with the fall we have had so far. Just last Sunday I drove from John up to Ft. Nelson and it was a nice fall day. No snow, dry roads and sunshine. How fast things change.

    Take care U2 and stay warm.
