Icy Lines in Manitoba

Friday, April 10th, 2009

In Manitoba – there are still large areas by the Manitoba lakes – with areas of frigid temperature and lots and lots of snow and ice.  Its still ice fishing weather out there – that is until a real spring thaw thaws out that winter ice till the ice is not safe to travel on.  As an ice fisherman you should be long gone before that time period.  It never hurts to play it safe and pay your bills prudently , reports experienced Lake Manitoba fishing and hunting outfitter Jadran Transcona.

It may be spring thaw in the city of Winnipeg Canada and yet be frigid conditions still – winter time – alongside and in the lake areas of Manitoba – be it Lake Winnipeg , Lake Manitoba , the narrows or other of the well known ice fishing spots in the province of Manitoba.

To this end caution still comes into play .  Warm , moist air and freezing rain can cause a buildup of frost and ice on overhead Manitoba hydro power lines.  If the ice continues to build , hydro poles can break resulting in downed power lines and power outages – be it in Ashern , the lake manitoba narrows regions or elsewhere.

What can you do .  Manitoba hydro advises first of all to be on the lookout for ice buildup and if so report it by phone or email.  Stay clear of low or sagging power lines , do not travel under or near one, as it can be most dangerous.   In addition try to avoid travelling near crews that are in the process of clearing ice laden power lines.   Lastly never attempt to repair damaged power lines or remove tree limbs from power lines – no matter how experienced you think that you are – advises Transcona. .
