Lake Ontario Freeze

LAKE ONTARIO FREEZE 

The frozen areas of Lake Ontario look very impressive from the ground. From the air it’s a different dimension and nature’s patterns are clarified.

This aerial photo was taken on Feb 19th over Humber Bay (Toronto)

On Feb 21st the lake was at 52.7 % ice coverage.

Although the skating on Grenadier Pond (High Park) is prohibited, some enterprising individuals have built their own skating rinks. The paths in the snow connecting them appear as a drunken worm on its way home.

I have to admit I skated there once myself.

Did you know that Lake Ontario froze over completely over in the past? It was in 1934.
