Lake Simcoe is still solid with 8-9 inches of ice.

If you visit here http://www.city.barrie.on.ca/apps/camera/cam.cfm?L1M=38 there are webcam shots of the bay. I was looking yesterday and no sign of open water.

The ice can actually go fairly quickly this late in the season. We noticed the ice yesterday at Kirkfield was still about 14" thick, but the ice had weakened and had started to become porous. This was probably due to the fluctuating temperatures we saw over the past couple of weeks. It was far more easy to saw through compared to the ice at the beginning of Feb.

I will let everyone know as soon as the lake opens up.
