Short summary
Climate change in Canada’s Northwest Territories (NWT) is making lake ice less predictable, thereby affecting ice road safety for northern communities. In this study, observations of significant changes in ice formation and growth between October and December of 2021–2023 in a small NWT lake are related to changes in local snowfall and air temperatures. Collected data were used to develop simple models that can be applied to ice road planning, construction, and design under future and current climate change.
