With some image adjustments, we can peer through thin clouds to see that the last two areas of open water, visible yesterday, are gone. Today is freeze-up.

Lake Wanapitei advanced dramatically from yesterday and there are still open areas on Lake Timiskaming.

Since Ottertooth began recording freeze-up in 2002, this is the second earliest date, the earliest being December 13, 2005.
