Clouds

After lunch I was out on the snow shoes for a hour, one other person was on this trail before me.
Very windy at a temp of +4, some sunny breaks.

The clouds were moving rapidity, with sharp edges.

I was to Hampshire this evening for cards and now watching the end of the curling.

Sunset

The setting sun over Cornwall, the water tower is behind a tree. There were sunny breaks at +2

The sun is setting later each day, this was taken at 6:24 PM in a parking lot in Charlottetown.
I spend the day in Montague visiting, so no cycling today.

Victoria Park

It was overcast at +5 when I was cycling, a fair wind as well, see the flag. This is the viewing stand at the Victoria park at the cannons.

The harbour as seen from the viewing stand, looks like full ice cover now.

The parkway is wet with puddles from the melting snow. The old bike is taking a beating from the salt that is on the streets. After leaving the park, I cycled the snow covered trail to the bypas and the highway to Winsloe, then home logging 30+ km for the trip.
I was curling in the morning. And yes Cocoa, we won.

Callaghan Road trail

I was snowshoeing on the Callaghan road trail this morning, overcast at Zero. The snow is not removed on this part of the road.

Many open fields in this area and a good cover of snow on them.
There were 10 in the group today and we were out for about two hours.

Not sure of the name for this stream, but it runs though Green Bay and that may be what it is called. A good sized stream with a lot of water flowing. I expect that there is good fishing in it.
I am still watching a lot of curling from the bonspiel in Red Deer.

Winter cycling

The open water at the North River bridge on north side ia at low tide.

Both ducks and sea gulls taking advantage of the low tide and open water.

The confederation trail in Charlottetown is covered with packed snow, it wasn't too bad to cycle on, a little rough in places from the footprints in the frozen snow.
It was sunny at -5 and I cycled around Charlottetown and took the trail out to the bypass highway and the road home logging 29 km.

skiing

The trail though the woods near Eliot Park, It was overcast at -5.


The trail along the edge of the field on the Cornwall side of the woods.
The ski tracks are from someone else that was out before me.

Lots of snow in the fields now, covering the stubble and whatever else that maybe there.
I was on the skis for about 75 minutes and guessing about 7-8 km traveled.

Winter day

-2 and a clear sky, not a cloud to be seen. I was out on the skis for 75 minutes. there was someone on snowshoes on the trail before me to this point.

But they turned back, not a track on the fresh snow ahead of me.

I skied to Eliot park, there were snowmobiles in this area and one other person out on skis as seen by these ski tracks. I watched one draw of curking before skiing and another draw after I got back.
