t. Lakes Ice
�ond�tions�This
Year Abnormal
Massive ice fields on Lake
Superior, causing delay in navi-
gation opening, were reported
by F. K. McKean, of. Parry
Sound, District Marine Agent; in
a Department of Transport bul-
letin last week. •
The release read as follows:
Ship•movementson the Lowe
Lakes have been a common oc
currence•4or some weeks, but o
the Lipper Lakes winter stil
reigns. However, one ship, th
Canadian Marine Service ice
breaker, "Alexander Henry," has
traversed the locks at Sault Ste.
Marie and made the passage of
Lake -Superior -to .the -Lakehead:
Severe -ice conditions have been
encountered in several areas
along this route.
In, fact, co ditions are so dif-
ferent this Tear compared to
other years that old observer
of the Upper Lakes have ex-
pressed astonishment. The gen-
eral abnormality is the fact that
all of the Great Lakes have been
comparatively free of ice on the
open stretches of the lakes
throughout most of the winter.
In fact, at the present moment,
there is : very little ice in any
of the lakes with the possible
exception- of Lake -Erie, the most_
southerly lake in the chain. In
Lake Erie, severe storms over
the Easter week -end piled all
the. loose ice into the western
TA of the lake until Buffalo
Harbor was reported sealed off
by wind -rowed ice..
In contrast to the condition of
the open lakes, the bays and
rivers of the lakes chain have
much more ice than usual. For
example, in the Lakehead Har-
bor on April lst last year the ice
extended out into Thunder Bay
only two miles beyond Welcome
Island. This year the ice field
extends seven miles farther ° out
to the point of Thunder Cape.
Also, in Thunder Bay and in
other bays, such as. at Midland
and at Parry Sound, the ice is
thicker than last year. Appar-
ently, the reason for this is the
fact that heavy winter conditions
came in January this year and
the large bodies Aof water never
cooled down sufficiently to
freeze at that time. However,
the bays and shallow areas were
frozen from early in the winter
and kept building up ice
throughout the cold months.
The shipping companies have
made no definite plans for com-
mercial traffic, but it is reported
that the first arrivals were ex-
pected in the lower St. Mary's
River on the upbound passage
about April 7h,' They have
been warned, however, that they
must expect heavy ice conditions
unless mild weather sets in.
ightstations have been com-
issioned along the main line
Georgian Bay, Lake Huron
nd the east end of Lake Super -
r.
Incidentally, for those inter-
ested in the level of the Great
Lakes for the coming year, it
ould be noted that charts on
iter levels indicate that most
the lakes will be about the
erage elevation for this sea-
son.
