Afternoon walk

 After lunch I went for a walk on the snowshoes, My tracks were the only fresh ones in this field.

 Looking ahead there were no tracks, this field is next to the MacPhail creek.

If you look close you can see the top of the Cornwall water tower in this photo. It was a bit colder so the snow was very good for snowshoeing, I was out for 75 minutes and walked 4 km.

Walk in Silence

At noon I took part in the Walk in Silence in Charlottetown, I guessing close to a hundred took part.
  

 Later in the afternoon I was out on the snowshoes, There was someone out before me using what looks like bearpaw shoes.

No sun today, but it did get a little bright to the west, this was taken near the business park.  The high temperature for the day was 2

Kids on sledding hill.

I was snowshoeing with the Cornwall group this morning, as we got back to the Terry Fox Sport complex
this group of kids were tubing on the hill.

It was mild at +1 and the snow was wet, it was sticking to the snowshoes which made it more of a workout.
No cards at Warren Grove tonight.

Tracks in fresh snow

I was out on the snowshoes for 75 minutes in the afternoon, these tracks look like rabbit tracks.

 There was one other person out on snow shoes before me, unfortunately he only went for a short distance.

I think these tracks were made by a coyote, it was sinking well into the fresh snow.
I walked 3.5 km and was breaking track for other 2 km of it, that made for a bit of a work out.
Sunny with light wind at -2

Second day of storm

 After lunch I to a 45 minute walk in the woods near home, seems like about 50 cm of loose snow, even with the snowshoes it was hard work breaking trail.

Lots of snow on the trees as well. It was about -4 and the wind was still gusting to 50 km/h.
As I post this the wind down to light and temp is falling to -10

Storm day

 Blizzard conditions all day, about 20 cm of snow so far and winds have been 45-50 gusting to 75 km/h all day.  Temp holding around -6 so snow is doing a lot of drifting.

About the only traffic on our road has been the snow plow.
So I walked 3 km on the Weslo, watching junior curling this evening.

Skiing

Mid afternoon I went out on the skis for a hour, not good skiing because no base to the snow. In the

cultivated fields the skis were hitting the soil.  It was a hazy sun at -12 with light wind. 

A few hay bales piled up at the edge of the field, I am guessing they will be there for the winter.

I put my glove on the snow to give some idea of the size of the coyote poop.
I was to Hunter River this evening to play auction cards, won men's top prize.
