Still close to 2 feet of ice

I had two reports from people this week who were at Canoe Lake last weekend and cut through the ice. Both said that there was about 2 feet of ice still on the lake! Although one person said that it seemed to be "low quality" ice—not as clear and solid as in mid-winter.

UPDATE: From Russ & Jill Matthews, who were on Canoe Lake this past weekend... "We are just back from a great weekend at the cottage. The weather was beautiful and not very cold. The ice is at least 2.5 feet thick, so you might want to reconsider your ice out date!"
