G’mornin,

15 cm snow in Pointe Claire this morning, but looking at Hero’s Welcome webcam , seems Lake Champlain did not get any snow. (or very little)
Champlain Marina webcam at Colchester same.
Forecast looks good till Thursday.

Any first hand reports ? Takers ?

Sandbar ice this am- no snow last night but some rain. Surface "looks" fantastic, but there is about 1/4 inch of standing water on 20% of surface. This is close to shore at Apple Island Marina so don't know what it's like farther our. Don't know about drain holes or pressure ridges at this point. Temperature did not go much below freezing last night. Currently 37 degrees F and no wind. Surface will be soft. At my lake it's cooler (31 F) and we had a lot more rain and water on ice( about 40 miles south and higher elevation. - Don

Jeff's skating it now. Some double ice, no standing water about 6-7". Will know more when he gets back. Wing skaters are just showing up.
Best, Chad
