• Happy National Blueberry Pie Day! 🫐🥧

6 weeks til Spring

Where is all the snow??? I am heading out for a day of ice fishing tomorrow on the sled. And maybe on Monday I'll take the canoe to the river and go for a paddle. Yep, that canoe. Spring is coming!!!!!!

We didn't get much here, the city had better storms. Most we got in one shot was maybe 5". This past week has been all well above freezing and the snow is going fast. Today and tomorrow +13C and not freezing daytime highs until Friday, which is of course the first day of Spring.

The downside of no snowpack is the potential for no water in the rivers come May, although we had a very wet Autumn and the river levels were at Spring heights. If it stays dry, there is also the potential for back country closures and forest fires.

Lake Winnipeg has 4 feet of ice so that will take a while to break up.
