Ice on Lac La Ronge May 8

A few days ago we posted photos of the ice on the bay of Lac La Ronge. These photos, taken four days later show the progression of the melt. On the far right of the photo where the Montreal River river enters the bay of Lac La Ronge the ice is starting to melt. We will continue to up date the blog every few days with photos of the lake until break-up occurs.

Ice on Lac La Ronge May 4

Where oh where is spring? We have had a very long and cold winter this year and with temperatures still falling below zero overnight it seems that 'Old Man Winter' refuses to release his grip on the Lac La Ronge Area. These photos are of the bay in La Ronge taken from the post office hill. On that day there were DeHavilland Otter aircraft still taking off and landing on the ice. The great debate on Coffee Row is "will the ice be off in time for fishing season?" We may be ice fishing when the season opens on May 17th.
