If you have left Canadian waters and landed in the United States i. If you have left Canadian waters and entered U. However, we will touch on it briefly. You know; just in case. Because the west end of Lake Erie is so shallow, it freezes early and rapidly. The exact times are heavily dependent on the temperatures, but late November is usually a safe bet for the beginning of ice development.
In Maumee Bay, OH, a solid sheet of 12 to 18 inches thick is common. During severe winters, thicknesses to 24 inches are common and 5 foot thicknesses have been observed. By mid-March, the ice in the west end of the lake starts to clear because of the temperatures and the prevailing west winds. The central part of the lake generally remains open through January except for a few strips of thin ice. Growth is rapid in February, and high concentrations of thin ice develop by mid-month.
By early March, medium-thickness lake ice predominates, with somewhat better conditions along the Canadian shore. Melting and clearing is rapid in mid-March, and the remaining pack is usually concentrated east of Long Point, ON by the end of the month. Over the entirty of the west end of the lake, the ice attains an average thickness of 7 inches with an average maximum thickness of 11 inches. In the eastern part of the lake, ice begins to form in early to mid-January and may reach a thickness of 8 to 12 inches by the end of the month.
The solid ice increases to 16 to 20 inches thick by the end of February. In Buffalo Harbor, an average thickness of 9 inches and an average maximum thickness of 18 inches can occur.
In the lake, the prevailing west winds usually create pack ice forming considerable ridges and rafting. Extremely hard pressure ridges 3 to 4 feet thick are not uncommon in February and March. As the ice on the rest of the lake begins to break up, the winds force it into the east end of the lake, and it completely blocks the approach to Buffalo Harbor.
The soft deteriorating ice forms mush ice about 3 to 6 feet deep, interspersed with pressure ridges 4 to 6 feet deep. The mush ice has been reported as much as 20 feet deep in places. Rafted ice fields 15 to 20 feet above the water level have occurred during severe winters; under these conditions, ice can persist thought late May.
Heavy lake-effect snowfalls can occur when the following conditions are in place:. This is commonly referred to as the mb line. As cold air flows over the warm water, the lake warms and moistens the air near the surface. Since warm, moist air is less dense than cold air, the heated air rises. Rising air cools and water vapor condenses into cloud droplets which fall as snow. When the prevailing winds push the clouds over land, friction with the ground causes air to pile up creating lift and enhancing snowfall.
Since winds blow primarily west—to—east along the main axis of the lake, lake effect snows are more pronounced on the eastern parts of the lake such as cities such as Buffalo and Erie. Fully vaccinated foreign nationals are eligible to enter Canada by boat. If you enter Canadian waters for leisure and touring, including pleasure fishing, sightseeing and other discretionary purposes known as loop movements , you are not required to report to the CBSA as long as the boat does not land on Canadian soil, anchor, moor or come alongside another boat in Canadian waters.
Travel to Canada for discretionary non-essential purposes is still prohibited for foreign nationals who do not qualify as fully vaccinated. Discretionary non-essential travel that includes landing on Canadian soil, anchoring, mooring or coming along side another boat in Canadian waters includes:. If you're transiting through a canal or lock system, you must meet the entry requirements for all boaters.
You can only make essential stops while in transit or doing loop movements, including to use facilities, refuel or for essential supplies. If you make essential stops, you must first report to the CBSA at an open designated marine reporting site.

If you anchor to spend the night, you must quarantine on your vessel or boat. If this is not possible, you may quarantine at a hotel until you are ready to resume your trip.
If your first stop in Canada is at a place that is not a CBSA designated marine reporting site in case of bad weather conditions , you must report immediately to the CBSA Telephone Reporting Centre by calling Before you travel to Canada, note that you can only enter at an open marine reporting site. As the operator of a boat entering Canadian waters with the intent to disembark, it is your responsibility to report to the CBSA.
