    Salt Storm(starting) 2012

    So Scott, any bets on your beloved salt mound, that it will be securely tarped before Sundays storm. Winds are expected to be WSW with gusts 80 km +. That would mean anyone living from Rembe Ave / Harry's Pub to the lift bridge in the potential fallout zone !

    Beach Winter 2019

    We went for a walk down to the pier yesterday before it got dark to see what the last storm left us and what a slippery sight. Environment Canada said we had wave heights from 2 to 3 metres. At the storms peak, the lake level reached 75.25 M. All of this rebuilt the ice wall along the beach...

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    News from around the lakes First article caught my attention solely for the fact that the IJC is deviating from its plan governing the lake to offset the effect of high water levels- causing shoreline erosion and costal damage. This leads me to the second article regarding the Great Lakes water...

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    Good Find Scott As we approach a new year, I will give you my prediction for 2019 which is " we will see flooding again " as bad as 2017 is hard to say? That will depend on how fast the ice clears out of the St Lawrence and what bad spring storms we get. But the possibility of flooding is...

    Plan 2014 (High Lake Levels)

    Hi Scott it does look encouraging but still it would be better to see more of a drop. The eastern shores of Lake Ontario are still taking a beating every time we have a storm from the west.
