Fridays satellite image of southern Manitoba. The larger rivers are mostly open, but anything white is ice and snow.

Ice out not soon...

This should be used in every geography class in Canada, to answer the question, "Why are there so many floods in Manitoba?" Brown in the south, white in the north, and the river runs north!
16 degrees in Toronto today, 20 degrees tomorrow...Manitoba will not be far behind!

It hit 20 in Red Lake and I saw the first gull at the "Bridge" so that mean Howey Bay will be ice free May 10. Smaller lakes sooner.
We were 21 yesterday with double digits forecast the next 7 days, so Spring is upon us.
Mihun09, I really really like the idea of getting up-to-date photos like that of areas where I want to canoe.
Where do you find such great satellite photos?
It's such a good spring planning tool.
Thanks
Ted

I've been using this for a number of years and it seems they do the same rough area at the same time everyday, so once you figure out where you are you will know if the shot will be clear of clouds just by looking out the window. If it is cloudy at the time the satellite is passing over, you don't see diddly. It also doesn't pass directly overhead, sometimes your area will be on the fringe of the photo. That particular shot is a screen cap of a 500m per pixel sizing.
Just drag your cursor over the thumbnail and it will give a view of where the photo was taken, easy enough to find your part of the world in that way.

So, with most lakes still frozen we have a new twist. Fire bans, no permits being issued for central and eastern Manitoba as far north as Berens River, The US border to the south, the Interlake to the west and the Ontario border to the east. Also, a back country travel restriction is in place for south eastern Manitoba.
It is extremely dry here, April showers have yet to arrive, we had snow on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Wildfires have already begun.
It might be a total no go year unless it begins to rain soon. It isn't unheard of to have complete back country travel bans in place for a month at a time.

I hope you folks from the North get some warmer weather soon.
We are having a foot of snow today above Lake Tahoe which is a half hour from the house. We are at the same latitude as San Francisco. Spring can bring all sorts of weather. When I first moved to Nevada we had snow on two consecutive Memorial Day weekends. In the mountains it snows in every month. Here in the valley at 5,000 feet we rarely get snow in July and August.
