Water tower

 I was out on the snowshoes for 75 minutes, I was to the business park and went around the water tower.

 I am guessing these are coyote tracks.

A rabbit passed by here. Sunny at -4 with very light wind.

Sand pile

 About 5 cm of snow last night, a light snow so I just used the pusher to clear the driveway.

 I was out on the snowshoes for a hour, I went by the Government sand pile for the roads. It will soon need to be resupplied.
 Lots of snowmobile traffic in the same area by the looks of the tracks.

A nice silhouette of a snowshoer, -11 with a wind chill of -20 with sunshine.

Tree clean up

 I was out on the snowshoes for 90 minutes today, I took my buck saw with me and did some cleaning of trees on the trail.

 Before the snow I could walk right under this tree but now no need to duck.

 Three weeks ago the wind and snow took down this tree top, a few minutes took the branches off, the trunk will wait til the snow is gone.

This afternoon it was windy with blowing snow with a temperature of -4.

Snow

 The bare ground is already showing though were I cleared yesterday.

I shoveled the top of the drift in the afternoon, the snow is so hard I am using a hand saw to cut it into blocks.  I was snowing foe a couple of hours in the morning in the Brudenell area.
Mostly sunny with a light wind and a high temperature of zero.

Lots of vapor

 Its was -15 with no wind when I visited neighbors at the barn today.

 This squirrel was visiting the bird feeder and then hid in the pine tree.

I worked for three hours on this large drift today, another three hours may complete it.

Snowmobile tracks.

I was out on the s/shoes for 30 minutes starting at 6:35. I was surprised to see that a snowmobile had followed the snowshoe trail though the woods.  I was to Montague during the afternoon.
It was sunny til midafternoon, then clouded over with a high temperature of -2.
