Hi gang, with a certain Texan recently complaining about a little cold weather while flying I just had to post a few pictures of some real cold weather flying in my neck of the woods.
It warmed up to -18 Celsius from a low of -27 C this morning.
This is a shot of Goulais Bay North of town that is part of Lake Superior. It's well on it's way to being frozen over. If this cold weather persists they believe that Lake Superior will freeze over which happens, but rarely. This is a mixed blessing, it takes a lot of cold weather for it to happen, but it reduces lake effect snow flurries when it does. Sets up some great flying when the high pressures in March start coming through.
Haviland Bay North of town, again part of eastern Lake Superior.
Three ships in Lake Superior waiting for the Ice Breaker to escort them down through the locks in Sault Ste Marie, they need to be through the locks before they close on January 15th.
Ice breaker working in the North Channel of Lake Huron escorting a Laker down bound.
Laker being escorted down bound in the North Channel.
Laker coming upbound in the North Channel of Lake Huron, this is at Sailors Encampment on St. Joe Island. The ships have to make a hard left coming up bound.
I love my Tanis engine heating system. I also installed Vetterman Exhaust with two muffler heat exchangers in preparation for this type of flying.
Cheers, Terry.
