Geese and chipmonks

Geese and chipmonks both become known March 12, 2012.

Fresh snow

Yesterday 4 inches of fresh snow in the afternoon. One small vehicle drove to maple hill. Lots of snowmobile traffic along cottage road. Lots of vehicles at mill hill turnabout.

Water on lake

Most of the lake is covered in water. Road still good for snowmobiling, but mill hill may be difficult to climb if freezing occurs. Clarke Rd from Africa Trail to the end has had no traffic and is deep snow.

Slushy lake

Some parts of the lake are fine for snowmobiles, other parts have slush hidden under the snow, waiting to swallow up your machine. Road well packed with snow.

Road

Lots of snowmobile traffic from causeway, east along cottage road, past the north end of the new road, along the old road to top of white ash hill and taking a winding bush trail to Baptiste Lake. Less snowmobile traffic along new road to Tusk. Lake traffic travelling is excellent.

Rink covered in 2 inches of slush.

Brief Power Outage

About 6 am power went out for about 1-2 seconds, enough to clear the electrical clocks. Very strong winds with branches down. Snow on roofs very deep.

Enough snow already!

Approximately 8 to 10 inches of snow from yesterday to this morning. Even the moose are complaining.
