Ice on Lac La Ronge May 16

Did I say pray for wind and rain? Last night we had thunder showers and the wind is presently gusting up to 37 km an hour - there are white caps in the bay! These photos are looking towards the north from Fietz Park. Look closely in the background - you can see the ice between the islands across from Police Point. Click on photo to enlarge.

'Ice Breaking News' ~ float planes are landing in the bay on Lac La Ronge. Amazing what a little sunshine and rain can accomplish! These photos are of aircraft (DeHavilland Beaver) landing on Lac La Ronge the afternoon of May 13th. The top photo looks north from Fietz Park as the Beaver taxis to the dock at the Water Base Inn/TransWest Air. Compare it to the photo on the previous post where there is ice as you look north along the same shoreline. The second photo is towards the south and shows touchdown in the Bay where the Montreal River enters the lake. We have had a few showers today and the forecast is for showers/thunder showers this evening.

This first photo was taken from Fietz Park where the Montreal River enters the Bay on Lac La Ronge; the second photo was taken at the beach across from the Post Office. Temperatures have been warm this past weekend reaching normal averages of 12-14 degrees. Will the lake be open for fishing season this Saturday? Pray for wind and rain.
