| Summary: | ABSTRACT. Spatial patterns in the snow and ice cover of Elizabeth Lake, Labrador, ~ as surveyed in late February 1979, are displayed and analysed. Relationships between distinct trends in the ice and less distinct trends in the snow are discussed within a context of processes operative during a winter. The nature of and spatial patterns in the winter cover of lakes and of their evolution have important implications for those interested in generalizing about lake ice properties and about the effects of snow and ice on the lake ecosystem. RfiSUMfi. L’auteur met en évidence et analyse la disposition de la neige et de la couverture de glace dans l’espace du lac Elizabeth, Labrador, telle qu’il l’a observée, 1 la fin de Fevrier 1979. I1 discute du type de relation qu’il y avait entre les orientations nettes dans la glace et celles moins claires dans la neige, cela dans un contexte evolutif d’hiver. La nature et la distribution de la couverture hivernale des lacs, leur evolution ont des implications importantes pour ceux qui s’interessent aux propriétés génerales de la glace lacustre et aux effets de la neige et de la glace sur “l’ecosysteme ” d’un lac.
