“The weather is totally different now…I have noticed a lot of frozen rivers (sirmiliit) had melted that I used to see. The frozen rivers are still melting and quite far from the sea now.”

“I have noticed the ice condition has changed, sometimes it takes longer for the ice to form…”

“I have realized today in our community there is a lot more soft snow and deep snow, but today in Pond the ice to me seems to be different than it did in the past.”

“The wind seems to be less consistent in its origin and can now blow from anywhere. It has winds that are shiftier and the wind comes from anywhere now. The wind seems to have no prevailing direction as it comes and goes.”

“In respect to the snowfall, it is noticeable that there is less snowfall occurring than in the past. If I were to cite an example, the sea ice here used to have more snow cover and these days it has hardly any snow cover.”

“It seems to be freezing later and later every year as the weather seems to be stuck on fall for a long time. That is what I know because when the time has reached the traditional freezing period, the lakes would freeze. These last few years the lakes have not frozen at the usual time because the weather has not been normal.”

“We used to get more blizzards, really strong blizzards. But, the blizzard season is fairly short (now). These days we are getting fewer blizzards but more windy days.”
