Cycling

 Open water at the bridge over the North River, still a fair amount of open but with temperatures in the minis teens for the four days I can see a lot more ice coming.

 I cycled to the mall, the to Winsloe and back home, then road were 90% dry but the moisture sure makes a mess.

I used Spray nine and rinsed it off with hot water.
Overcast at -3 with a light wind while I was out.

Breadalbane trail

 I was snowshoeing the Breadalbane trail this morning, therewere 12 in the group.

 In one place the trail uses a couple hundred meters of the Confederation trail which is groomed for use by snowmobiles.

 Lots of fresh snow today.

The dam right in Breadalbane.

More fresh snow

 I went out on the snow shoes around 3:00 and I was the first one out, no othere tracks.

 I did the loop in the business park woods and got to use my tracks on the way back.
Breaking trail is the hardest part on showshoeing.

Still some snow on the trees.
I used the blower to clear the walk and driveway in the morning and again for a bit of cleanup after I was out on the snow shoes. Mostly overcast and -3 and by midafternoon the wind had died down.

Fresh snow

 I was out on the snowshoes again today, I did the loop to the business park. I the way back I went along the edge of the field in the fresh snow.

 Some snowmobile tracks at the far edge of the field.

These are my tracks that I made a few minutes ago, I am on the way back home, I was out for a hour.
Overcast at -5 with NE winds gusting to 60 km/h. The forecast for tonight has the winds gusting to 80 km/h and up to 20 cm of snow..

Snow and snowshoeing.

 Yesterday I woke up to 40 cm of snow to clear off walk and driveway. at -9 it was good snow to blow.

 Then in the afternoon I was snowshowing with a Cornwall group for 75 minutes, a small group of four.

 Today I saw rabbit tracks in a couple places in the woods by the balll field.

I went as far as the water tower and back by a different route so I was breaking for about 75% of the 4 km that I travelled.  Today was sunny at -2 with a light west wind.

On the snowshoes

 It started snowing in the morning and snowed all day. Late afternoon I snowshoed to the business park.
Not much wind and the snow was staying on the trees.

 A nice flow of water in the little creek, temperature was around zero most of the day, as of now it is -2

Sawing plank by chainsaw

 I was to the wood lot today, setting up some logs to see if I can saw out a plank.

 A little rough but I got my first plank.

 I found that the jig on the old Poulan is too big, I will redo part of it.

Later I walked to the business park and back. Very foggy at +8 with rain showers.
