2020/2021 Alberta Lake Ice Thread
As Fall approaches I am thinking ahead to what the hard water season will bring. Also got me wondering...over the past years...how has freeze up and thaw out gone...date wise.
For interest sake...here is the data I have collected in Calgary at Lake Sundance.
Ice came off the lake on: April 30, 2009, April 7, 2010, April 23, 2013, April 24, 2014, March 31, 2015, March 28, 2016, April 20, 2017, May 1, 2018, April 19, 2019, April 28, 2020
The lake froze over on: November 19, 2010, November 16, 2011, November 15, 2012, November 14, 2014, November 26, 2016, November 7, 2017, November 19, 2018, missing 2019 date.
Seems fairly consistent...albeit maybe winters looking colder the past few years.
Anyone hazard a guess as to when the lake will freeze over this year?
Hoping to get some of you fine folks out to catch a mess of 7-11 inch perch for a good feed of them tasty beasts...
