Ice storm, hit North central Ontario

[John Y Cannuck]

Was up to my cottage, forgot the damned camera.
Ice on trees everywhere, trees down, power out, big trees down, big mess.
Ice is North of Tory Hill Ontario, and just barely north of Wilberforce.
If you have a camp, or cottage in that area, take your chain saw.

Wow JC, you guys in the east have really taken a licking this winter. Here's hoping things improve for you's all.

Geez I hope we didn't get hit. I haven't been up yet. I'm betting my awning will be off. From all the snow this year.

Dave.

Uh, you mean south central Ontario

We in north central Ontario got nailed by another blizzard on Friday - I have just under 4 feet of snow still sitting in my front yard.

Even the concrete goose had enough, saw him trying to hitch a ride south on Hi 17 this weekend...

Wawa is generally regarded as Western Ontario, at least to my reconning.
Me, at the urging Of my wife, we walked in to the cottage the last mile, me carrying the chainsaw and the gas. There was no damage, and little cutting to be done along our stretch of road. Power is still out up there this morning, but the hydro helicopter was tracing the lines when we left.
The main road was another story, large trees dangling from the hydro wires, wires down on the road in several places, crews from local cottages cutting what was safe to cut. It's quite a mess.

The freezing rain hit here hard.It busted up my big Elm tree in my back yard,and now I'm gonna have to cut her down.
There are trees broken an busted all over the area.

[captonion]

Some photos of the ice storm.The ice was over an inch+ thick on the trees.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Thanks, at least someone had a camera.
I see you are in area 58. How far north of Denbigh are you? I'm wondering what I'll find at the deer camp. Got a visit this weekend for a wood cutting bee.

 

[captonion]

You will be happy to know that Denbigh go rain.You have no worries.

 

[SignGuy]

man it sucks to be in ontario it seems, you guys are getting snow and ice and i spent the day riding around in my t-shirt with the roof off my truck LOL

 

[John Y Cannuck]

You will be happy to know that Denbigh go rain.You have no worries.

Yes, if Denbigh got rain we are safe. They are higher than us, and when we get rain during the deer hunt, they frequently get snow.

Wow, those pics remind me of the ice storm we had here in 1998. We had no power for a month.

As for right now when I look out my window, I finally see grass with piles of snow in between.

 

[senior]

John: better take some good wading boots to camp.
There's still close to two feet of wet snow still in spots in the bush.

Isnt that something...

I never heard about it. But the weather has been beautiful up here, almost all the snow is gone!!

Hope your camp is ok!
