An update on the breakup of ice on Alberta lakes, May 17.
Glenmore has been free for a couple of weeks now, but the latest from the Barrier Lake info centre is that Barrier Lake is still ice-bound in the centre, with open water around the shores. The Kananaskis Lakes are still solid, and Spray Lake 'looked like a glacier'. When is winter finally going to bugger off? It's five weeks until the longest day and only 12-15 weeks before people will be out scouting for early-season winter ice climbing again. We do seem to be suffering this year. The forecast for Monday in Calgary is around 4-6C and possible snow. Whoopee.....
