Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

Currently plus 4C!

Woo hoo, so Obla-Da, life goes on

Actually this premature warm weather is a bad thing.

But I wouldn't expect anyone from the south to realize that.

Further downside: the Snow King Ice Castle had to shut down early
and the Equinox Festival had to be move from the ice on Yellowknife
Bay for the first time ever to a parking lot in the city.

temps as high as +8 for a week
20 degrees above average.
All the ice roads [,,,] had to shut down

We had the hottest weather in recorded history (100 years) for
several days running, almost everywhere and broke hundreds of
records.

The warm spell is over and we are back to normal seasonal temps of
-1 in the day time to as low as -20 at night. We have at least 6
more cold nights forecast so it looks like all the freight will get
delivered everywhere after all.

Who determines the safe loads,
and how - sonar? Or some more boring method.

The road builders have decades of experience and can judge ice by
look and feel just like an Inuk hunter. But they also rely on radar,
sonar and test drilling too.
