Well we finally are getting snow, the drift around the garage was up to my knees this morning. The snowblower wasn't very happy when I woke it out of its slumber to go for a walk. All cleaned up and it still kept coming down till about noon and then tapered off.
What a better time for a snowshoe, fortunately Dave Kronk and Luke from Ohio just arrived the day before from Ohio. They were checking out the cottage on the lake and it was Dave's first trip to Gowganda in the winter ever. They both came armed with snowshoes and were ready to tackle the trail.
We started at Hedlund marsh and went into the prospector's cabin and then took off up the trail. Snow conditions were perfect, the bush was great and the trek perfect.
Both Dave and Luke commented that these are sights that you just don't ever see from driving down the road.

Fun with friends! A great way to spend the day. This Winter has been very different from the last don't you think?

Overall it's been a great winter here with fairly constant temps. We haven't seen either a lot of snow or the -35C weeks. If it's any indication I have used less firewood than ever this year.
We are on our 20th snow day here, with snow on the ground that hasn't fully melted since the 18th of December. I'm not sure if I count it as a great winter here. I love the snow, but the lack of preparedness here is incredible.
