Canoe Lake, in Algonquin Provincial Park, in Nippissing District, Ontario
"I'm making the call for 2012 Canoe Lake ice out on Monday, March 26th... with an asterisk :-)
Charlie Plant sent me a second email and photo from Canoe Lake around noon today, and it's pretty definitive:
'I went down to the camp and was pleased to see that the ice is completely gone from the north end of the lake. From my estimation the ice is gone from 99% of the lake.'
So what is the asterisk? Well, it's the forecast. Right now we are looking at -12C tonight with a wind chill of -17C, and below zero every night this week. So there is a small possibility that the lake will freeze over again, assuming the wind drops way off over night. And as Charlie pointed out, that could mean two ice-out dates in one year!"
