Great trail

 Today I drove to Milton and walked the trail to Coles creek, about 2 km. Not much snow in places but I saw 14 snowmobiles in the hour I was on the trail, I guess they are getting the last ride in for the season.

Dead tree

 When I went for a walk today I tok the saw with me. This tree was dead before it blew down.

 Didn't take long to take off the branches and cut it into 60 cm blocks.

All cleaned up but for the branches that are frozen into the ground.
Overcast at -5 and a stiff west wind.

New building

 I was cycling for a couple hours today, new building going, different in the fact the roof was build on the ground and the roof will be lifted by the crane once the walls are up.

 Looking to towards the harbour, the channel in the North River is clear of ice.
