the northwestern shore of Hudson Bay and the northwestern shore of Hudson 
Strait during the first week in November. Patchy new ice will develop in 
Cumberland Sound, Frobisher Bay and will continue to slowly form farther

in shallow bays and inlets along the northwestern shore of Hudson Strait 
during the later part of the second week of November. The ice will 
continue its southward progression to cover the extreme northern and 
western portions of Hudson Bay and the extreme northwestern portion of 
Hudson Strait just after mid month. By that time the ice will have 
thickened to the grey ice stage. In addition, an area of new and grey ice 
will prevail along the shore of Baffin Island south of Cape Dyer. 

THIS IS THE LAST 30 DAY FORECAST OF THE SEASON.
