The TLA is continuing a 20+ year tradition of monitoring ice break-up on Lake Temagami. Warm weather and consistently-poor ice conditions this winter portend an early ice-out date for 2024.
We have our stalwart team of reporters stationed in the South, Southwest, North Arms, and the Hub sharing boots-on-the-ground progress. In addition, we look forward to providing drone, aircraft, and satellite imagery, weather permitting.
Our expert observers and their “Official Ice-Out” predictions are as follows:
- Bob Farr (Bear Island):
- Jackie Hodgins (Wanapitei): April 22
- Don Johnson (SW Arm): April 21
- Nolan Jorgenson (SW Arm): April 18
- Aaron Nelles (Bear Island): April 20
- Bruce Rice (South Arm): April 14
- Sacha Stephens (Western Hub): April 22
- Penny St. Germain (Wabikon): April 19
Note: Our definition of ice-out is no remaining ice on Lake Temagami. Ice-out last year was May 8th.
