Fresh snow

 It had been snowing for a hour when I went out for a 75 minute walk, I went to the business park and the long way home going about 3.5 km.

 I saw this brown squirrel and got a couple photos.
 

 Not sure what made these tracks, seem too big for a squirrel, the footprint is mine. It was about a km from were I took the squirrel photos.

 I was just about when I took these photos, the snow was sticking to the trees.

The temperature was right at zero with a northeast wind at 30-40 km/h.

Roma

 Snowshoeing at Roma in Brudenell, no snow here but enough in the woods.

 A mussel boat working in the Brudenell river, hard to believe it is the last of January and no ice on the river.

We did about half of the trail and logged about 3 km.  Sunny at -4 with light wind.

Hiking in Brookvale

 There was 13 in the group today, no need for snowshoes.

 We were doing the snowshoe trail at Brookvale, about 4 km.

 A map of all the ski trails as well as the snowshoe trail.

 This down tree was in the demonstration woodlot trail.

Temperature was +5 with a light wind.

Cable problems

This morning I was unable access the Internet, The modem died, had to go to the cable company and got a new one. I was to the wood lot in the afternoon, warmed up to +5 with a south wind.

Various

 I was cycling again today. This the Confederation in Winsloe, It is getting lots of use by the snowmobilers.

 In the Industrial Park I saw these guys digging a hole, Not much frost in the ground here but in chatting with them, they said at a location  last week there was over a meter of frost.

Still a fair amound of open at the North River. Thirty years ago at this time of year they would be having horse races on the ice and the cars and trucks would all be parked o the ice. Today I would not walk on the ice.
Mostly over cast at -4 with a wind chill of -9 so it was a little warmer than yesterday.

January cycling

 At the Farmers market on Belvedere Ave.

 What more can I say.

A section of the trail near UPEI.  I cycled the roads to Belvedere, the trail to the bypass hwy. I then cycled the roads to Winsloe and on to home. I logged 25 km for the trip.
It was overcast with a couple sunny breaks, temp -4 with a NW wind gusting to 50 km/h.

Spring water

 Late afternoon I was out on the snowshoes for 75 minutes, not enough snow to cover the stubble.
I was between home and the Cornwall business park.

 Not many snowmobiles around this winter in this area but a couple tracks here.

A spring headwater, it never freezes even at -25. It is warm enough that the watercress grows all winter.
Overcast with light snow showers at -3
