Well it was a nice week and it is promising to go back to cool wintry condition again. Today is just wet and wetter. It is raining pretty good and promising to wash the snow off the lakes again. We’ll see what happens later in the day if it can turn to snow before it quits. If you are planning on coming to the cottage I wouldn’t count on snowmobiling as the trails are being listed as closed or limited access. Have a good weekend.
The snow has arrived again. We haven’t received a ton of snow but at least enough to cover the ice and let the sleds start rolling again. I ran in to some groomers this afternoon so they are out trying to pack down what we have before the wind blows it away. The lake is drifted but at least there is enough snow to lubricate sliders. The lake level started coming up this week and has shoved some ice up on shore in spots. There is some limited flooding around some of the shorelines on top of the ice but tonight’s temps should take care of that. It shouldn’t be hard to shovel off a rink with the snow being so fluffy this weekend to get some games of hockey going! It was great to see so many people up enjoying the long weekend and the weather. This weekend’s weather isn’t looking too bad either for those that are feeling the urge to come up and enjoy the quieter side of the cottage(albeit a touch cooler) It seemed that there was alot of towables behind four wheelers last weekend enjoying the harder side of the lake. Enjoy the rest of the week.
Time to put the umbrellas away! It has been an interesting week weather wise but now that the snow banks are lower and the lake is done pretending to be liquid again it is time for us to get back to winter. A touch of snow this evening is helping the appearance of winter to return. The forecast for the weekend is looking quite good. Unfortunately, the sledders might not like the conditions until next week’s snow that is forecast. Looking at the lake it might be a good weekend to go skating or get a game of hockey going. Just don’t hit the puck too hard or it might end up at the other end of the lake. We have lost a fair bit of snow but it is still early in the game and there is lots more to come. Saturday the 14th of Feb. (nudge,nudge) for those that might have forgotten looks like it is going to be a great day weather wise. It might be a great day to get your significant other out for a walk, snowshoe, trek across the lake to the cottage, etc. We are still keeping quite busy around here with an amazing amount of people stopping in while out exploring the area. I think it is the Kawartha Dairy ice cream craving that is driving the masses!! The holiday weekend might have something to do with it as well. We are closed for Family Day on Monday and re-opening on Tuesday the 17th. We wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day and a great winter long weekend.
