I would like to mention that with the warm weather that we been having, one should be extra causes if out on the lakes with snowmobiles and things.  Remember this; at least 20 centimeters of clear blue ice is required for snowmobiles.  In knowing that and one takes heed of that, there should be no accidents or loss of life.  Do the research and stay safe.  Have a great day.

With warmer temperatures one should take extra care on the lakes for a few days, as one just never knows.  Also take care if traveling as with temperatures changing so fast it could become quite slippery in spots.  Have a great day.

Just In, Freezing Rain Warning Now In Effect

A broad area of freezing rain and ice pellets is forecast to move in this morning across most of the Nickel Belt, associated with a large and strong low pressure area moving toward Northern Ontario. The area of freezing precipitation will gradually move northward, affecting much of Northeastern Ontario today. Several hours of freezing rain or ice pellets are expected for most regions before changing to rain as the mercury rises above the zero degree mark. Travel may become dangerous due to ice forming on untreated surfaces.
