Gravel shoulder

After Saturday's snow and rain all the streets and trails are icy. So I went to the new highway but the pavement had ice under the snow. So I tried the gravel shoulder, not great but doable til the snow was 3-5 cm deep. It was sunny with a temp of -7

Trail at Allen street.

Today I cycled to the mall, then the trail to Allen street, then back to Winsloe.
I was out for a couple hours, I needed full winter dress as it was -10 with a wc of -15.

Local walk

I was out for a 75 minute walk today, first two pics taken at the edge of the business park. We got a light dusting of snow today, less than 1 cm. Temperature was around -11 with a windchill of -18.
The sun was setting as I was on the way home.

Walking on the 25

 On the 25th I was out for a 40 minute walk. Another tree blew down, part of the trunk split right down to the roots.

No snow left in our area but may get some tomorrow.

Cycling on Dec 23

After the rain yesterday I am back to cycling. I was cycling for a couple hours today, I cycled to Allen street and then to the bypass Hwy on the trail. Then took the Hwy to Winsloe and the road home. Sunny at -3 and a 20-25 km/h NW wind.

Saw woodpecker

I was snowshoeing today for a hour or so, logged 6,000 steps.

#1 pic shows that a squirrel was in the tree. #2 shows chips on the snow which means the woodpecker is at work, it is in #3.

Someone was out on the snowshoes before me which makes it a lot easy going. 

 

Husky

 We had over 20 of snow yesterday. After clearing the driveway I took the Husky saw and walked to this tree, used have used the snowshoes. Took the rest of the branches off and blocked the whole tree.
Temp was -4

Snowshoe day

 I was out on the snowshoes for a couple hours today, we got over 20 cm of snow since last night.
So the was need of having the snowshoes.

Snow day

Today was a snow day so I walked to the business park and back, about 3 km. I spend a few minutes at the tree taking some more branches, small ones as I only had the campsaw.

Temp at zero so it is wet snow, which does not drift.

Bee hives

First clips taken on Friday, still some snow on trail. Near where the bee hives are location on the experimental farm. The bee hives were a art project a couple years ago.

Down trees

 I was out for a walk yesterday though the local woods. More trees blown down and more trees to clean up.

Winter scene

 This is how it looked one day last week, then we had a wind storm and lost out power for 20 hours

Cycling around Charlottetown

First clips taken Sunday, we had rain overnight and then sun at +5 today so a lot of the ice disappeared. I was able to cycle the last four days, today was the best day. Friday & Saturday I was just around Cornwall streets for a hour each day.

Walking in the rain

 Another bridge across the little creek, a good flow of water running today.

 I walked to the business park and this squirrel was keeping a eye on me.

 And the woodpecker is still working on the poplar tree.

I was out for 75 minutes and travelled 3 km. there was light rain at times with a temp of +4

Woodpecker

Today I walked over to the business park, this redcap woodpecker was having lunch at a dead poplar tree. I was hour for a hour and snow was hard so didn't need snowshoes. It was overcast with a light west wind and a temp of zero.

Trees down

Video from Nov 11 walk at wood lot looking for down trees.

Snowshoeing

 I was snowshoeing for a hour or more this afternoon, making fresh tracks at the edge of a field.

 Not far from home, I can see the Cornwall water tower on the horizon.

 Still lots of snow on the trees, this trail is in the woods near the ball field.
Temp was -10 with strong NW wind for a windchill of -18-20

Dead poplar tree

 I was walking in the local woods today, I used the camp saw to take limbs of this that fell partly on a trail.

 A wood pecker must have been getting a good lunch on this dead tree, lots of chips on the ground
A misty rain at +2 and I logged 3 km.

Snow on woodpile

Sunday I was to the wood lot and took a walk around the lot wearing snowshoes. I have a chest mount for the GoPo. Easy to see every step that I take.

Snowshoes

 I was out on the snowshoes today for a hour. I guessing about 10 cm of fresh snow.

 This tree fell on the trail, using camp saw I took off a few branches, next day I will take some more.

 The wet snow is sticking to the branches, by the forecast it will be there for a few days.

Fresh snow

 We got another 15 cm of snow this afternoon, I was out for a 90 minute walk, the watch says 5600 steps. Temp was around -1 and the snow very soft.

Local trail

 Yesterday I walked the local trail to the business park. Luckily this big tree fell away from the trail. But the trees in third photo are on the trail and will need some work with the bucksaw.
Temp was -8 with gale force wind, wind chill -20.
