This photo taken about 5:45, street lights just coming on.
A very cold day at -17 and with the wind gusting to 60 km/h the wind chill near -30.
About 5:20 the wind had died down so I went out on the snowshoes foe 30 minutes, This photo taken about 5:40 looking towards the west. Because of the cold I spend some time on the tread mill.

Beck trail
This morning I snowshed the Beck trail with the east group, we completed the red loop, about 4.4 km.
Fresh snow and braking trail for about half of it, with snow on the trees it was very nice hike.
At Vernon Bridge on the way home I saw all these ducks in the water, looks like several hundred.
It was sunny at -7 with no wind by noon. Early in the morning it was -19 at my place.

Eagle
I was snowshoeing with the Cornwall group in the morning, omly three of us today.
Midafternoon I was out again, and saw this eagle near the MacPhail barns.
With the number of coyote tracks and the fresh trampled down usually means that had lunch at this spot.
Very cold day at -12 and windy in morning, gusts to 45 km/h but the wind dropped off in late afternoon.

Walk in storm
About 2:00 I went for a walk, still snowing and the wind was gusting to 60 km/h. But in the woods it wasn't too bad. Lots of fresh snow in the woods, this trail is close to the business park.
Lots of snow on the trees to blow off with the high wind.
I walked to the business park and towards the York Point road with the wind on my back.
I was near home when I took this photo, both snow falling and blowing snow. I was out for 75 minutes.
I used the blower twice to clear the driveway today.

Walk in the snow
There was light snow in the air when I went for a walk after lunch. I walked to the business park and towards the water tower. -4 at the time.
This was in the woods near the ball field, there was one person out before me by the foot prints in the snow.
By the gps unit I walked 5 km. There is a blizzard warning issued for tomorrow, sure doesn't look like it now but may change overnight.

Winter Woodlot Tour
They were showing how to build a fire in the woods, could have used a bigger one as it was -12.
This is one of our PEI coyotes.
A nice team of horse but really needed a bit of snow for them to do logging.
The tour was on the Millboro road near Brookfield. A sunny but cold day.
I was to Hampshire for cards in the evening.

Victoria Park
Today I cycled into Victoria park, sunny at -3 but the wind was gusting to 50 km/h.
There were a few people walking the boardwalk. The yellow at the bottom left is my glove.
I cycled from the park to the trail at Grafton St, then to Sherwood road, then to Lower Malpeque and on to home. The last photo is at the North River bridge looking north, last week it was almost frozen totally over but with the mild weather over the last two days the channel is starting to open.
