Snowblowing today

 More than enough snow to get the rust off the snowblower today.  Always nice to get out and make sure it's working well for the rest of the winter.

Banker's bay yesterday

  To day it snowed off and on the whole day, it didn't look like it was coming down too hard but by the end there was at least 10 cm. 
   A pic of Banker's Bay and the ice that was pushed up from the south winds.

Tonight's sundown

Couple more from last days shoot

 

First picture is from the same spot only looking east.  The bottom pic is on the road just south of Firth Lake.

Wapus Creek

Warm and wet today with more rain to come tonight.  Out for a ride towards Wapus Creek for some pics. Walked down the old road bed where the bailey bridge used to be, the water is high just like all the areas right now.  Took some pics looking west from the bridge.

Tuesdays cold clear night

There was hard ice almost an inch thick in Outlook Bay, the south wind by the afternoon was pushing it up in front of the Post Office.  Earlton weather station logged in -16°C from midnight to 3:00 am.

Video of Montreal River

 A short video of the rushing water.

A very busy Montreal River

This picture was taken about half way between the dam and the bridge yesterday.  There is a lot of water coming down right now much like the spring runoff maybe even more. Don't forget to click on image for larger view.

Lots of rain the last few days

With all the rain and the fact that they took 4 logs out of the dam the water going down  Burke and Edith Lake like a flood.  The boat ramp at Edith is underwater and the concrete boat anchor they lock the boats to is 6 inches underwater. Here is a pic taken today.

Hedlund marsh iced over

Great day today, lots of sun and cool.  Headed out west on the highway and never got past Hedlund marsh.  Here are a couple of pics.  All of the water has a thin skin of ice.  This was taken around 3:00 pm.

Changes to a dull picture
