2fast4u Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what the snow conditions are like in the Midland and surrounding area. I realize they need more snow but how much snow do you have right now and how much do you think they need before the trails even have shot to be open? Thanks.

Yukon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'd imagine the GBSR are experiencing the same problem as my club which neighbours the trail system , trees down , washouts from rain and flooding with know significant snowfall . On average any snowfall before christmas generally does not last , pray for cold temps and more snow . By the way ice is not safe as much as you will hear it is , 2 sleds went in over near Port Severn where Ice huts are . Also Ice breaker was scheduled to come into Midland bay on January 1st so best to avoid until colder temps lock things back up ! NOTICE OF ICEBREAKING OPERATIONS COMMENCING ON OR ABOUT 2008 DECEMBER 25TH THERE WILL BE A COMMERCIAL VESSEL PROCEEDING THROUGH THE NORMAL SHIPPING CHANNEL INTO AND THEN OUT OF THE PORT OF MIDLAND, GEORGIAN BAY RETURNING AGAIN 2009 JANUARY 01ST BEFORE PROCEEDING TO ITS WINTER LAY-UP PORT IN OWEN SOUND AROUND 2009 JANUARY 02ND. THESE TRANSITS MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNDER DIRECT ESCORT BY A CANADIAN COAST GUARD ICEBREAKER. ICE FISHERS, SNOWMOBILERS, COTTAGERS AND OTHER RECREATIONAL USERS OF THE ICE ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO REMAIN WELL CLEAR OF THE VESSEL’S TRACK. ICE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN HAZARDOUS AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT THE CANADIAN COAST GUARD REGIONAL OPERATIONS CENTRE OFFICE AT PHONE: 1-800-265-0237.
