I seen somewhere it's still open water up near point if that helps. Probably soon thoughGuys going farther out near EC10 are getting into the jumbos. Anyone know how much ice is out there?
Letter of the law, 9” of clear ice is fine for a small SUV, however the ice is thinner at shore and progressively thick toward the middle of the sheet. We were about 1.5 km out yesterday and the ice was still variable from 8-10” Also, the inner bay is different from Nipissing or even Simcoe in that it is a wedge of ice connecting to a much large body of open water. Yesterday, there was a pressure crack that we physically felt move sideways. I had the tiniest poop when it happened, lol. My buddy was outside the pressure crack last week and when they went to come back to shore, they had to look for a good place to cross with quads as it had opened up a bit while they were out there. IMO it’s a foolish game to play on LPB as it’s much less stable than northern lakes.Is 9” not good for a vehicle that size?
How many inches would you guys want before driving out?
Oh I won’t be driving out. I drive a truck. The only time I’ve taken it on the ice was temagami. 18” of iceAfter 50 years I would not drive out now, atv-sled-outfitter, be safe and have a good trip.
First I thought someone crashed into the shack I was in the after shock was my massive fart when I felt the ice shift..Letter of the law, 9” of clear ice is fine for a small SUV, however the ice is thinner at shore and progressively thick toward the middle of the sheet.

It was pretty cool, but also a bit freaky. I’ve slept on the ice on Nipissing many times and it’s effin’ cool to hear and feel the thunderous cracks as the ice reforms through the night when the temps drop, but it’s nothing like that shift was!First I thought someone crashed into the shack I was the after shock was my massive fart when I felt the ice shift..
I would have shit but I made sure I wouldn’t have to shit before I left the house in the morning
