No Ice...YET

 Whitby Harbour on Lake Ontario - December 4th

Canada Geese and Mute Swans still swimming in the harbour and have not left for deeper water where water rarely freezes in Lake Ontario (except at the edges).

Balmy weather for fishing on Lake Simcoe - December 5th

No sign of ice yet. I'm thinking the ice-fishing enthusiasts are not happy about this!

    Water fowl are my closest neighbors now. Never boring!

    I don't think I could ever be brave enough to ice fish...every time I see people out on the ice I think about how deep the water is under the ice.

    We have less sunny days. We have more gray skies and rain. The weather is sometimes hot but most time cooler because of the rain. Have a beautiful day!

    It was a little cold for a few days here, but the temps have gone back up again. I think it will be 10 or 11c today. Hardly winter! I do miss Lake Otario though, so it's nice to see some shots of it here.

    I can't imagine fishing with having to cut through the ice this time of year! Nice shooting!

    I'm sure those ice fishermen won't have to wait too much longer. Although the weather has probably been nice for the waterfowl.

    The same is the case here, where the Canal has yet to freeze over.

    I hope the animals that should be hibernating won't wake up too soon... I am glad to hear that there are open places on the lake as Erie freezes over pretty much totally here I think..Michelle

    I was saying this morning, I don't remember it ever being so mild when my birthday arrived (Dec 10), and though I should be grateful for double digit weather, it scares me. There should be ice in Lake Ontario already, not double digits.
