You bet, just 30 miles due south, as the crow flies. On the S. shore of Rice Lake, near where the doomed Cobourg-Peterborough railway trestle was built to cross the lake. The ice would be pushed with such force during the spring from the prevailing n/w winds, that the man made link would be repeatedly destroyed. Mother nature made poor men out of millionaires! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humidex Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Going through the long range GFS Model, Thank you Pivotal Weather, shows a long quiet stretch for the GreatLakes. Something is showing for Feb 14... This is a very unusual (calm and mild) winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll overwinter pretty far north as long as they have a food source, typically berries and seeds in the winter. Once the ground thaws, they'll switch to worms/grubs/bugs. Granted I'm a lot farther south than you, but there was a small flock around the house for several days last week. Once Spring arrives, the "winter" flocks disperse and one has a more better chance of seeing them. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/is-it-unusual-to-see-american-robins-in-the-middle-of-winter/# https://blog.nature.org/2018/02/07/why-are-you-seeing-robins-in-winter/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
