Next Week things might be different....

On Tuesday, Roni and I went snowmobiling at Sandy Beach. It was a great day, -5C, little wind, and we only tipped over once! The trail gates were open so we were able to visit a couple of surrounding lakes and bushland. A half-dozen white-tailed deer watched us carefully but nobody got too excited. Returning to the cabin, we had lunch on the deck and watched the chickadees, blue jays and magpies visit the suet feeder.

Here's Raymondo on the Skidoo at the cabin

The snow drifts this year are as big as I can remember them.

Two days later is a different story. The wind picked up overnight to near-gale force, the temperature dropped to -15C on the way down to -25C tonight, and the highway is no place for man nor beast with the falling and drifting snow. We're hoping that in a week's time, and some 10,000 miles from here, we'll be buried in sand on one of Sydney's beaches. Stay tuned.
