 This part of the trail crosses the Lower Malpeque road, It is already starting to dry out.
The temperature got up to +10 but a fairy strong SW wind.

Later I took a walk down to the bridge over the little creek. I was surprised how little water that was flowing in the creek

 Later I took a short walk in the woods near home and was able to get a couple photos of a squirrel
.

It was sunny at -4 with a very light north wind. Actually a very nice day for cycling because the shoulders of the roads was mostly dry. If it had been warmer there would be more melting of the snow and ice.

Signs of spring Geese

 I was out on the snowshoes for a hour, I was as far as the business park woods. The first photo is seeing the track from yesterday.

 This is what it looks after two passes, going and coming back.

 Looking across the York Point road at some new housing.

This flock of geese flew over about 4:30, not sure if that is a sign of spring.
They picked a poor day to return as it was -20 this morning and still -10 this evening.
