It's been a week since I shared pictures of our continuing winter here. The weather continues cold and snowy. One day last week we actually went out for hot chocolate (the Tim's variety) and a couple of donuts. We then went down and sat by the harbour to have our winter snack.
Not cold enough for any solid ice, though that might change this week, but certainly way too cold for fishing, at least in my mind!
But obviously some would disagree with me.
We drove over to the other side of the harbour to see how things were looking there - looking like winter!
Both the bay and the sky were dark grey that day.
With various ice formations along the shore.
Here at home it's been snowing for a day or more, piling up light fluffy flakes that mound the snow deeper now. We've got over a foot in sheltered spots that aren't affect by the wind much, 2 feet where it drifts and only 6" where the wind blows - but 3 foot snowbanks out front where it's been plowed or shovelled.
Sure does look cold. More winter here too!!
ReplyDeleteSure are some bitter cold nights coming, but apparently won't last.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait until spring!
ReplyDeleteThe ice formations along the shore have a beauty all their own.
ReplyDeleteNever got into Fishing in the winter myself.
ReplyDeleteToo cold for the both of us.
Nice pictures of the Ice Formations.
Be Safe and Enjoy the Hot Chocolate.
It's about time.
You have more snow than we do 107 miles southwest of you. With these colder temps upon us now I think we will be seeing more lake water freeze. I like the sound of hot chocolate and donuts.
ReplyDeleteB-r-r-r! It looks cold. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit chilly. there's not much that feels colder than being by the water on a cold windy day -- hope they enjoyed fishing, I'll pass on that.
ReplyDeleteThose skies look quite brooding.
ReplyDeleteGive a man a fish and you feed him for a day,
ReplyDeleteTeach a man to fish and he's in danger of dying from exposure.
The lack of ice around our coastline is concerning this year.
ReplyDeleteI love the views you post of that area.
It sure does look cold, but those ice formations are so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you how much I have enjoyed your posts on the arctic explorers. I knew most of the names and a lot of what happened, but it was all kind of jumbled up with no idea of the chronology. Now, thanks to you, I have a much clearer picture of just how things progressed over the centuries and a much better picture of what happened and when it happened. Thank you so much for all of your work on this. Look forward to the next series. If you need another project, how about a similar treatment of the exploration of North America. We have been watching the Treasure of Oak Island and I am fascinated to know that the Knights Templar may have visited the new world as early as it appears they might have.
ReplyDeleteNice! I found that one needs to just enjoy winter, mild or frigid. I used to live in Maine, USA. However, I just counted the number of times that I truly enjoyed fishing in the winter, and it is roughly equal to the number of times that I have seen a T-rex strolling through our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteA stormy looking sky with all the dull gray.
