Down trees

 This was taken back in December just after the tree was blown down.

 I finally got to it with the chain saw.

This one was in the same area, so opened it up at the same time.
I was out for about 75 minutes. Some sunny breaks at -7 with a cold north wind.

Cycling

 Today I cycled to Victoria Park, very little ice in the harbour.

 I then cycled the trail to the Bypass highway, packed snow in places.

 Other places the trail was bare. The city removes the snow on this section of the trail.
I the cycled the roads to Winsloe and the on home.

The North River as seen north of the bridge, some ice but still a lot of open water.
Sunny breaks at -5 with a 20-25 km/h west wind, so the wind chill would be around -10.
I really did not notice the wind until I was on the way home on the causeway.

Wood lot

 I was to the wood lot in the afternoon, about the same amount of snow as home. It was easy going with the snowshoes.

 Some rabbit tracks, I saw them in four locations so seems to lots of rabbits. I also saw squirrel tracks and one fox tracks. Surprisingly no coyote tracks.
This tree is about 10-12 cm in diameter and looks like it was snapped off in the last wind storm.
It was overcast at -3 with a light wind.

Coyote tracks

 Late afternoon I was out on the snowshoes for 90 minutes, sunny but with the wind, the wind chill was -20.

 Lots of coyote tracks at this location at the edge of a wooded area.

 Seems like a gathering place for the pack.

The setting sun was high lighting the homes in the Sunrise Cove subdivision.
