A glance at the latest satellite imagery shows Georgian Bay to be roughly a week ahead of 2014 in terms of ice-out, possibly more. The fast ice is already receding, and the main ice pack appears to be thinning despite continued cold nightime temperatures in the region.
Another week will tell, but compare to this image from March 31 2014 and it’s a safe bet that ice-out will be earlier this year.
