According to the Finnish Facebook page they have ice!
"Cara Vlada and Johnny just came back from the ice. Currently we have 11-12 cm hard ice."
They plan to sail in Säräisniemi, Vaala, Lake Oulunjärvi next weekend.

It is hard to believe but last year we too sailed the weekend of Nov 15, on Christina.
Think Ice!

In Canada, they are always thinking Ice. While up in Ottawa last week, ran across this Canadian Citizen Science "Ice Watch" postcard where citizens monitor ice on and ice off conditions for Environment Canada.

Maybe NOAA can take a clue from this......
