This spring is the headwater for one of the streams near home, I have never seen it freeze over.

Looking down stream from the same location, amazing how green the vegetation stays.
I was out hiking near home for a hour in the afternoon, light rain at +5.

This is the little creek near home, all frozen over with a little snow on top.
As I post this, temp is -2 and we had 3-4 cm of snow.

Charlottetown harbour

The marina is bare looking without any boats, the hotel is the Delta.

Looking towards the Hillsborough bridge, there is still open water.

There is still working going on at the site of the Jack Frost event.
I was cycling for a couple hours after lunch, it was sunny at +2.
I donated plasma in the morning and this evening took part in a moonlight snowshoeing event at Brookvale.

Some ducks in the open water at the North River bridge.

I cycled into Charlottetown and then out the Confederation trail to the bypass.
The Jack Frost winter event is being held behind the Charlottetown mall, this looks like the sledding ramps.
The main part of it is near the Mount Edward road. It was mostly sunny at zero when I was cycling.

Boughton River

We hiked the Boughton River trail this morning, about 8.5 km. Sunny at -10.

The river is frozen over and some snowmobile tracks on it.

Some of the group, there was 11 of us in the group.

I was at the end of the trail at this point, the river is very wide here and it would be tidal.

Clouds

This was taken mid morning, as I was waiting for a ride to go curling, temp was -1

The forcast was for sun and it peeked out a few times but it was mostly cloudy. By late afternoon temp was -5.

I was out for two hours on the skis in the afternoon and to Warren Grove to play cards this evening.

Winter fun

I was out on the skis this afternoon, a couple were on a snowmobile enjoying the snow as well.

This little hill is about one km from home, this is looking down.

A very gentle slope to practice on, I was up and down about ten times without falling down.
Temp was zero and the sun was trying to peek out but never made it.

I am guessing a fox has taken the wasp nest apart, I wouldn't think there would be much in it to eat.
Just the shell left on the tree.

Ii was -9 and sunny and not a cloud in the sky when I was out on the snowshoes for a hour, there were others out before me. Presently -18 as I post this.
