Churches

 New Dominion United church

 Kingston United church 
I was at three churches this morning, I forgot to take photo of the Cornwall church.

I was out walking for 90 minutes late afternoon and the gps logged about 4 km.
It was overcast at 3 with a 30-45 southwest wind. 

Evening clouds

 There was a little (2 mm) fresh snow overnight at -6

Late afternoon I was walking for 75 minutes, I was as far as the business park.
I got this photo of the setting sun on the clouds just as I was getting home.
The high temperature  for the day was -2

Trees

 I was out on the snowshoes for a hour late in the afternoon. These trees at the edge of the business park are really growing.

This evening I attended a Christmas dinner with the radio club members.
Overcast all day with a few snow showers with a high temperature of 2

New shoes

 The old bridge in the woods by the ball park, 100 meters south is the new bridge put in this fall.

 It was 4:00 before I got to go for a walk but no one out ahead of me.

I got new snow shoes today so I am all set for the snow.  I was 90 minutes clearing the driveway this morning. We had 20 cm of snow then 10 mm of rain on top, it made for very heavy wet snow.
The temp was around the zero mark all day.

York

 Yesterday I was to Hunter River for coffee with some hikers, this covered bridge and the water wheel are some of the Landmarks you will see there.

 Today I was to Vessey's in York to get some parts for a lawn mower.
In the morning I was to Charlottetown doing errands and in the shop after lunch working on a lawn mower.

Overcast most of the day with the rain starting at supper time, temperature around 6 with light wind.

Warm day 16

 I went cycled around 2:00 and cycled to Victoria Park, the wind was quite strong, at the park I would guess 40km/h or more.

 I the cycled the trail to Winsloe, I was surprised to see a snake out but it was warm at 16 today.

But it was a little slow so I moved it to the side of the trail so it wouldn't get stepped on.

Poor cycling day

 It was after 1:00 before I started cycling, I cycled to the mall, then the Mount Edward road, then Rte 2 to Winsloe and then back home, about 20 km.

The trail was too wet & muddy for me to cycle on with the Cypress.
We had some sun in the morning, but it was cloudy when I was cycling, actually had started to rain by the time I got home. Temperature is high to 11 as I make this post.

Light snow

 A little light snow last night, pretty much all gone now.

Not sure where this combine was going but it will not be combining for a few hours.
I was to Montague in the afternoon and watched MacEwen win the curling this evening.
A lot of sun at 5 this afternoon.

Poor photo

This afternoon I was to the woods near the ball field to clear a couple trees that had blown down .
For some reason the camera decided to add some special effects to the photo.
I had breakfast with the retired fire fighters in the morning.  It was -7 this morning with a wind chill of -14 but is up to zero as I post this.
I watched some curling  today as well.

Snowy wood lot

 I was to the wood lot for the afternoon, a little bit more snow there then we have a home.

The sun was out when I started but then it clouded up, temp was -2 with light wind.
I spend the morning around the  shop. This evening I had visitors that brought cake with them.
So we had chocolate cake and tea together.

Cloudy

Cloudy all day with rain in the afternoon. I worked for a while in the morning on the trailer but it was cold and windy. It did warm up to 4 when the rain started. So after lunch I visited a sister.
I took the photo around 4:00, some breaks in the clouds to the south.

At home

It was -3 in the morning with the wind gusting to 60+ km/h at times, the temperature did get up to 1 later in the day. I spent the afternoon putting lights on a trailer and was to the town hall this evening to meet the new mayor and council.

Car repairs

 The project for the day was to replace a wheel bearing,
A friend had a press which was needed to put the bearing in the knuckle.

Partly sunny at 14 around noon, by 5:00 it was down to 4.
I was to cards in Warren Grove this evening.

Cold & wet

Wet snow then changed to light rain with a high temp of 2
Visited neighbors in morning, around home for the rest of the day.

 I went for a walk at 2:00, the wet snow staying on the trees, temperature for the day was -2.5.

I was out for a hour, the sun was still trying to shine though the clouds.

Snow and Red Cross

 The snow started around noon, photo taken at 4:30 and temp was at zero.

 I was at the new Red Cross building this morning helping a friend get the radios set up in the communications room.  Then I was back at 3:00 PM to the official opening.

Irving tanker

 I cycled around Victoria park after lunch, there was another Irving tanker unloading fuel.

I then cycled the trail to Winsloe, The gravel that was put on the trail in the Sherwood area early in the week still has not being leveled.
With 10 cm of snow forecast for tomorrow, my daughter was here in the morning to have the snow tires installed on her car. I readied the snowblower and put it outside and put the lawn mower away for the season.  It was sunny at 6 this afternoon. 

Busy day

I was in the wood lot foe a few hours.  I left a car in Winsloe to rustproofed and cycled home.
I donated plasma this evening and then attended a retired firefighters meeting.
Rain this evening at a warm 10.

Truck on trail

 This truck was spreading fine gravel on the trail, maintenance is redoing the 8 km spur of trail from Royalty Junction into Charlottetown.

Still lots of work going on at the site of the new government garage.
I cycled to the Mall, then took the trail to York, then came back to the Lower Malpeque road and the roads home. After that I run the mower over the lawn again picking up leaves. A mix of sun and cloud with a temp of 9.

Tree down

I was cycling after lunch, I cycled the road to the Farmers Market  (closed today) and the cycled the trail to Milton and back to the Lower Malpeque road.

 At the Royalty Junction there was a fair sized tree down across the trail.  So I went to work on it with my camp saw.

At the butt end it was all I could cut with my saw, I was wishing I had my chain saw with me.
It was overcast with a 20 km/h breeze with a temperature of 9.

A wew bit of snow

A wee bit of snow overnight. Temperature was around zero all day, very windy until late afternoon, most of the day gusting to 70+ km/h. I was to Hunter River for a excellent roast beef dinner at the church. 

Rainy Friday

By 6:00 PM my rain gauge was showing 30 mm of rain, however warm at 15.

Cycling new part of trail

 After lunch I drove to Mount Herbert and started cycling from there. Mount Herbert is next to Stratford.
The first photo is the start of the trail in Mount Herbert.

 This rest area is in Mount Albion, the trail in this area is very soft, the fine gravel has not been rolled yet.
I was using the old bike with the bigger tires.

 I turned to go back at the Hemlock trees in Lake Verde, it was about 16 km one way.

This double culvert is dated 1930 is located in Mount Albion. Sort of interesting to see what was used for rebar. Overcast all day with a very light breeze with a afternoon high of 8.

 This red Oak is still holding onto its leaves even with the wind  gusting in excess of 70 km/h yesterday.
