Nice pictures Glen. The girl on the far right looked less than enthused to be made to stand with her brother

BTW nice hose, where did you get them?

Thanks
No she did not look impressed at all, the younger one came running over to me it was pretty funny, anyway the hose were from a special promotion that Redshanks Scotland had going on a little while ago, I now you can order them from Peter at Canadian casual kilts, his user name here is MacHummel.

How come it's not frozen?

...The Lake. I'm asking about the lake.

Yeah? We have a 10k nighttime ski/snowshoe race this weekend across frozen Chequamengon Bay on the real big lake (Superior).

Yes, Glen, I thought your lake would be frozen at this time of year, so how come you need an icebreaker ferry in Toronto harbour if the lake doesn't freeze? It looks like spring has arrived over there in Ontario, when you say most of the snow has melted and there is very little snow in your pics. We still have a few inches of snow in the garden here and it is snowing again this evening.

Lake Ontario is very deep at the west end ( 600+ ft.) and does not freeze over. It will freeze between Toronto Island and the main land which is shallow. I think the east end will freeze over because it is shallow. Lake Erie although further south will freeze over because it is much shallower particularly at the west end. A larger number of ice fishermen were caught out on an ice flow and had to be rescued off the Ohio shore.

Great shots McMurdo. As always, you look dashing.

A couple of years ago someone wanted me to take me ice fishing..... But I couldn't find the right fly. Nyuk, nyuk! Were those stranded ice fishers out of Cleveland?

I remember all the fantastic ice formations at the Falls at the end of March 2005 and there was still a load of snow on Goat Island but hardly anything in Toronto at all.
