The results of studies on the relation between freeze-up, break-up and weather conditions for a small fresh-water lake in the Ottawa area are reported. Techniques using air temperature records for estimating when a solid ice-cover will form on the lake are investigated. .A formula using weather records is also developed for estimating the time taken for ice to melt from the lake. The usefulness of these relationships for estimating “freeze-up” and “break-up” dates for rivers and lakes is discussed.
