Picard Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 8 minutes ago, Freezing Drizzle said: I had commented that my humidifier has been running non-stop most of this winter, just to keep the interior RH to 35% I keep two humidifiers - one in each bedroom to maintain around 30% for sleeping and healthier sinuses. The rest of the house has been running 10-20% the past month and my one at work has shown single digits on a few days. 3 minutes ago, Freezing Drizzle said: What is the reason for much less ice on Lake Ontario?

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 24 minutes ago, Freezing Drizzle said: What is the reason for much less ice on Lake Ontario? It's much deeper than Lake Erie and rarely freezes over. Lake Ontario has a maximum depth of 800 feet Lake Erie barely over 200 feet. Lake Ontario is actually deeper than Lake Huron. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get a couple inches to freshen up the snowpack. I’m hoping for a half inch here but like you said in a previous post this setup has been shifting east. Eastern LI should do the best.

I know Erie is very shallow, I was just surprised at the degree of difference versus the other lakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Cayuga and Seneca are both deeper; I feel like I read the US Navy tested early submarines on one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located at Seneca Lake. I had read about it as well a long time ago and totally forgot about it until you mentioned it. I believe the largest of the Finger Lakes are all notably deeper than Lake Erie. Erie is relatively shallow. The smaller lakes in the Finger Lakes region are quite shallow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
