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.
Second clips taken today, much warmer with a temp of +4 and a very light wind.

Snowshoeing

 Yesterday I was out on the snowshoes for 75 minutes, really didn't need the snowshoes.

I was cycling for a couple hours today, temp -5.  First clip is cycling on the trail near UPEI.
Last clip is coming off the new highway into the roundabout and taking the York Point road exit.

On Saturday I was cycling on the new highway and again today Dec10.
Sunny but cold, wind chill was -15.

Cycling near UPEI

Today I cycled from to Belvedere Ave, trail and road to Winsloe and then home.

New highway

I cycled the new highway from the North River roundabout to the Clyde River, bridge not built yet.
Highway only paved to the Cornwall road. Sunny at -7

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.
