Dromore

 Today I was hiking the Dromore trail with 12 others, we were out for three hours and travelled 7 km.

 The easiest way down was just sit down and slide.

There were several trees that needed the saw to cut them so they could be moved of the trail.
No wind and a temp of -4 but lots of light snow on the trees.

snow shoeing

 This downed tree is still waiting for the chain saw to come along.

I have snowshoed though a couple time but the weeds spring right back up. They are some sort of cane, maybe raspberry. Light snow today with light wind and a high temp of -8

More snow

 First thing this morning, used the blower twice to clear the driveway.

 I was out on the snowshoes, I was the first one across the the ball field.

  I went as far as the business park, the sun was trying to break though the clouds.
Temperature was -10 when I got home.

Trail in the woods near the business park.
I am guessing 15+ cm of snow.

Walk in snow

 I was out for a 75 minute walk this afternoon. Light snow since early morning.
Anout 10 cm when I was walking, now about 15 cm.

But no wind to speak off. Temperature steady at -2.

Montague

Cycling on the 25th

 Headding out for a hour of cycling, I cycled to the water front.

 My guess is that this ship was carrying crushed rock.

 The trail behind the Charlottetown mall is clear and dry.

The total km on this bike since May 1, I rolled on 25 km today.
