Thursday

More of the same, 27F and sunshine, a bit of a breeze making it feel colder.

Chilly Wednesday

A bit colder, 25F, and we had some flurries this morning. We didn't come here  yesterday as on Monday night Holly was holding one back leg off the ground and it seemed Luke she couldn't put any weight on it. Of course yesterday she seemed fine after some of the anti-inflammatory we usually give her (she does this kind of thing quite often), but it was so icy I thought it better to rest her for a day. She seems to absolutely fine now :)

Monday

Colder again, 31F, but still bright and sunny. The trails have frozen again and are easier to walk on (with crampons).

Sweltering Saturday


Crazy weather! 50F with bright sunshine, the snow on the trails is the consistency of wet sugar and Holly's stream is in full spate with melting snow. But it's gonna take a long time for all this to melt and we're supposed to get cold again in the next few days.

Gray Wednesday

Back in the woods after missing a day yesterday coz of the snow removal in the church parking lot.

Gray and misty, but at least the rain has stopped, 39F. It's supposed to get even warmer the next couple of days, but it's gonna take a while for all this to melt!

Presidents' Day


Absolutely beautiful day in the woods! 22F with bright sunshine :)

Long loop but with crampons rather than snowshoes for speed as we're hoping to go to the mall for lunch etc with the Chapman's.

Sunday stroll


Taking advantage of the packed down trail to take a nice gentle stroll without snowshoes or crampons today- after another 5am wakeup to clear snow this morning I don't feel the need for anything more energetic ;)

Misty sunshine and 26F.

Breaking trail again


What with the foot of snow yesterday we didn't get out for a walk :( Another 3"overnight, which I've just finished shoveling, and the conditions for my big, 36"snowshoes are perfect!

Warm and sunny, 36F, and I'm down to just at T shirt and jeans again. This snow is much harder work for Holly as she sinks in and has to do that hopping, bounding romp to get along- she'll sleep well this afternoon!

Getting ready...

... for a possible 10" of new white stuff tomorrow. Lots of shoveling, but it should mean the trails should be ripe for snowshoes again :)

Cold with watery sunshine, 23F.

Monday

We got a fresh 1 1/2" of snow last night so I'm back on my faithful snowshoes (and yes, I did get up at 5 to clear it off the sidewalks, that's why I'm in the woods now).

Crisp, sunny and 26F.

Sunday

More people have been on the trail and beaten down a path so hiking spikes are the order of the day... more snow tonight though (only about an inch) so we may be back on snowshoes tomorrow.

28F and watery sunshine.

Fabulous Friday


Absolutely beautiful in the woods today! It looks like there's only one other set of footprints other than mine from yesterday. Sunny, 27F and gorgeous, I'm snowshoeing around in just a T-shirt :)

I've got my good camera with me, so check the main blog for some more pictures later ;)

No music again, nature doesn't need a soundtrack today!

Virgin snow

Holly and I are the first ones on the trails since yesterday's snow :)

There is a crust of ice on top that supports Holly's weight, and my snowshoes keep me up on top mostly :)

Cold and brisk, sunny and 22F.

No music, enjoying the crunch underfoot.

Terrific Tuesday

Didn't get out at all yesterday (poor doggy), and we're due to get at least another 6 inches tonight, but a gorgeous day like today almost makes up for it :)

Sunny and 32F.

Swampy Sunday

Crazy warm all of a sudden, 49F and the trails are a lovely mix of slush and mud :)

Although it's supposed to snow again tomorrow... and then again on Wednesday... and again on Saturday...
