Heard that the ice cover on the Geeat Lakes is the most widespread since the 1970s.
Checked it out on the Ice Services page of Environment Canada and wow is all I can say. Hope I can get a dive in at Humber Bay before that goes solid too.

Was diving the St. Clair river Saturday and saw ice drags as deep as 25ft. It's was a work of art getting out.

I know a little ice will not hold you back. My favorite dive in Humber Bay was when Wes, Grahame and I pushed the zodiac across the ice until we hit open water. Visibility was 100ft+. Why dive it in the summer???

The Ohio River has been iced over for about two weeks now. We can't get shipments up or down the river. It's essentially closed. First time I've ever seen the entire width of the river froze solid.
