Abnormally cold winter temperatures can result in the formation of ice along the shore of Okanagan Lake. (Black Press file photo) In the early 20th century, Okanagan Lake would sometimes freeze over in the winter. However, it has been many decades since the lake last froze over. At times there has been ice near the shore, allowing for some skating on the frozen surface. (Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum) The Vernon Vipers are one of many hockey teams in Canada.
