Yesterday I fully intended to write a post I was going to entitle Finally, as when I looked out in the morning ice was finally starting to form in Arctic Bay. So far Arctic Bay is at least two weeks late for freezeup. Normally by now, hunters would be venturing further afield by snowmobile, now they’re still boating.
When I looked out this morning to see how the ice had progressed it was gone. Such a strange sight this time of year. The grey ice has started to form again since then, and is almost out the same extent as yesterday. But I think I’ll hold off saying the ice his here until the entire bay has ice on it.
