Hi Mark, any word on how things are shaping up on the River?

I just want to double check is it for skis only? I received a message a week ago that runway won't be plowed.

Mo?s Fly-in - Ottawa River
Hi Vlad, I?m hearing the same thing. A fellow emailed me referencing a post on face book saying they?ve had too much snow to plow a runway.
Weather is not going to allow me to fly today regardless.
Disappointed, Terry

It's "planned", but Mother Nature is being anything but cooperative. Just received a major dump of rain along with temperatures as high as +6C. Not conducive to ice formation.
As a general yardstick for ice conditions, the world's longest skating rink, the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, is carefully monitored for ice thickness. The opening of the canal to skaters is a pretty good indicator of ice conditions in the region. Many years the canal is open in the Christmas/New Year's time frame. It has opened as late as the first week of February (back in 2004 if I recall). The canal is not yet open for skating.
With this being the case it's a pretty safe bet that ice on the Ottawa River is in poor shape.
Stand by for further updates - if I hear anything I'll post back.
