Walk in snow

Late afternoon I went for a walk with the snow shoes, the sun had come out, temp -6 with winds gusting to 50km/h.
I was the only one out, no other tracks other than animal tracks  

 At the crossing of the creek, the sun was highlighting the trees.

The sun was setting as I was getting home, I believe sunset is at 4:35 today.

Storm day

10-12 cm of snow at this time, it then changed to a rain / snow mix. I used my blower clear the driveway around noon.

My neighbor contracted this John Deere to clear his driveway.
I went out on the snowshoes for 75 minutes and was wet to the skin in places because of the wet snow/rain.
I was not talking to then but there was three others out by the tracks, two with snowshoes and one without them. As I post this temp is just below zero with light snow and winds gusting to 60 km/h.  The forecast is for the wind to gust to 90 km/h overnight.

Overcast day

 It was overcast and -4 when I went for a walk, The sun was trying to peek out at one time.\

I was just about home walking across the ball field these geese flew overhead towards the river.
I was out for 80 minutes and walked 5 km.  I was to Hampshire for auction cards this evening.

Snow

 We had a few cm of snow overnight but then changed to rain. I used the blower to clear the driveway.
Later in the morning it rained hard for a hour or so.

After lunch I went for a walk, about 75 minutes and 4 km. No other person foot prints in the snow, so I was the only one out. That is other than the coyote that crossed this bridge before me.
It was just mist at 4 when I was out.

Snow on trail

 About 1:00 I went cycling, overcast at -1 with wind out of the east.
I cycled to the mall, then took the trail to Milton. Trail had a light covering of snow.
First photo was taken near the Sherwood road.

This photo is in Milton, there were a few cyclists out before me. I cycled back to the Lower Malpeque road, then home by the highway, Because of the east wind it was a easy ride from Maypoint to home.
We are getting more snow as I post this, wind is forecast to be gusting to 70 km/h.

Ducks

These ducks are in the river by the North river bridge. I spend the day in Montague visiting family and friends.  Mostly overcast at -1.

Cycling on Christmas day

 I was cycling after lunch, seems strange to see the parking lot at the mall empty.

I then cycled the trail to Winsloe, there was two cyclists out ahead of me, I just saw the tracks but I did see to men walking their dogs. It was sunny at -5 with light wind. I logged 20 km for the trip.

Christmas eve

 We had a light dusting of snow last night but cooler at -7
I visited the neighbors at the chicken coop in the morning.

After lunch I went for a walk in the woods near home, the sun was bright but the chill factor was -13 because of the 30-35 km/h wind. I was out for a hour and by the GPS I walked 4 km.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Green grass & sea gulls

It was -1 with light wind when I left home at 1:00 PM, I cycled to Victoria Park where the sea gulls are resting on the grass. After leaving the park I cycled across town to the Confederation trail and cycled on it to Winsloe.  

I got back home at 3:00 and this photo was taken a few minutes from home at the Super 8 motel.
The temp now is -4 and the wind 30-35 km/h out of the west with light snow in the air.  The flags are straight out. The last couple of km across the causeway was a bit of a work out as the wind was right in my face.

Fog today

 I was coming home from town and stopped for the light at Holiday Island, so much fog I couldn't see across the river.

It was rain in morning, overcast with clearing late afternoon with a high of 10.
When I went to cards in Hampshire it was fog all the way but the fog was gone when coming home, raining instead.

Walk in woods

 I took a walk in the woods, the only tracks on the bridge before me were animal tracks, foxes I think.

After lunch I was to Charlottetown and saw this new apartment building going up on Gordon Drive.
I would like to know how many units it has.
Overcast all day right around zero with light wind.

Cycling day

I was cycling this afternoon for a hour & 45 minutes. Still lots of geese and ducks at Ellen's creek.

I cycled to Victoria Park, the cannons are in the background. The trail was too muddy so I cycled Mount Edward road to the Sherwood road, then the Lower Malpeque road to Highfield then to home.
It was overcast at 4 with a few snow flurries but no accumulation.

Light snow

 There was light snow all day, I am guessing 6-8 cm by now. It was -3 in morning, now -9.
After lunch I went for a walk though the woods and along the edge of the plowed field. We need some more snow for good walking.

Still some open water in the little creek.

Geese

 I was cycling in the afternoon, there is enough ice for the geese to stand on in Ellen's creek.

This house in the east end of Charlottetown has lots of decorations up.

Snow

 It started to snow by 11:00, after lunch I went for a walk, I was for a hour.

I was the first one to cross the bridge since the snow started. The forecast is for +12 tonight so the snow will not last long. No cycling today but I did see bicycle tracks in the snow on the sidewalk near home.
