The Lake Simcoe shoreline on January 02, 2019 on the east side of the lake north of the Beaverton pier remains partially open and partially frozen as we continue to experience fairly mild temperatures. A dirty brown residue can be seen on top of the ice along the shoreline due to waves washing up suspended silt from the lake during windy conditions when the water is open. It never used to look this disgusting as we previously would enjoy a pristine white colouration of ice and snow along the lakefront.
