-7 C at 8:30 am. Ice everywhere. The bay is kinda leery looking to me right now.
Some pics were added to the gallery weather section over the past couple days.

Check it out!

Snow on the ground this morning! -7.8 C outside! Woohoo!!!

Then came the afternoon… freezing rain… I can deal with that.

Then the evening came along. +9 C. About a 17 degree Celsius rise in temperature in less the 12 hours. Rain pouring down. 🙁 I’m not a happy snowmobiler. But then again, with the winter so far I’m not a snowmobiler at all.

I had a chance to do some plowing today with my little SnowBear plow. That was fun. We did get about 25 cms of snow on the ground before the rain started.

Temperatures are supposed to drop again tonight.

Well we got back to colder temperatures yesterday. And it dropped to almost -12 C last night.

It is currently -7.8 C and nice outside at 11 am.

Here’s where you will be able to find weather pictures from now on.

I will try to include a direct link to individual weather pics whenever we get a day with some good weather action to show you.

Enjoy for now!

+6.7 C now, almost midnight. Almost all the snow is gone. 🙁

The high temperature for today so far has been 4.8 C at around 12 noon. Since then it has started dropping slightly. The fog has taken away a lot of the snow that was on the ground but hopefully the water/snow buildup on the ice will freeze giving us a nice amount of ice in the coming days.

I’ll try to add pics to my weather entries in the future due to popular demand. 🙂

-18.3 C at 8:30 this morning. Very crisp and clear outside. Supposed to warm to 7 C tomorrow morning.

-10.8 at 8 am. Beautiful clear morning. No wind. Just cold.

About 8 inches of ice but only 4 inches halfway between Conne River and St. Alban’s.

We woke up this morning to find about 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground.
The temperature was at 0.3 C at 7 am.

I had to shovel and plow our driveway. 🙂

My first weather entry!

Something I thought I would do so I can look back at previous weather trends and to share our weather with others who might be curious.

This morning was the coldest I’ve seen yet this year. at about 8:00am our thermometer hit -20.0 C. COLD!!! No wind (fortunately) and clear skies. It is now becoming overcast as snow is due later this afternoon.

Me and Siobhan went out on the ice yesterday to check the thickness. Out of the four holes we drilled the thickness ranged from about 6 to 7 inches. Two holes just off from the boat launch and two holes just off from Bayview Groceteria. I wish we had a powered auger! Although the weight of a poweder auger might have hurt Siobhan a little more then the manual one did when it hit her in the head (Accidently!)

Theres only a couple of inches of snow on the ground. We had a foot or more before Jan 1st. Then it rained and we ended up seeing a lot of grass exposed. 🙁 The snow that was down had mostly melted away but then what was left froze solid and left a decent ice covering over the ground. We had a good 15 – 20 cms of snow on Friday (Jan. 7th) but it’s still not quite enough for snowmobiling.

Here’s to more snow!!! 🙂
