• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -16°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Lac du The the same rules apply, with local timing.
