Looks good! Forecast says around or just above freezing mark for end of week. Will that affect the ice this early in the year at all? I'm assuming it will get thicker through this week if it stays cold. I'd like to get out on cooks soon but want to make sure it's good and safe first since I have a bit of a drive just to get to simcoe. Appreciate the updates from all on the conditions!

If it stays this cold we may see plenty of huts before christmas. I also talked to a friend that lives on the river in keswick and says 7 inches of ice and lots of snowmobile traffic already.
