What a winter?
Last weekend it was +13 and now it's -27 . 
I doubt we will be doing our Saturday morning forest run today, dog Isn't impressed.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

It's definitely been a season of extremes.
Once we're out the other side of this cold snap though, it is hopefully going to be a nice gradual warm-up through to spring. It would be great if we could get a 4-7 week maple syruping season. Even cold-haters should be able to appreciate -5 nights and +5 days.

Has too much time on their hands
I was supposed to go to London early this morning for my class and decided to stay off Hwy 402 because of conditions. It's been so windy the last couple of days that i tied down my barbecue to the railing on my deck. The wind was so strong coming off Lake Huron it snapped the rope and blew over my barbecue !

Around here , we may have a poor syrup season , I spoke with my friend yesterday who runs a rather large syrup operation and he claims there is no frost in the ground and he is very leary this year about poor sap production. We'll just have to wait and see.

This is kicking the crap out of the livestock, gets humid then cold and windy then humid then cold, we lost a rooster and have had the combs of our chickens fall off, nasty year.

I called my brother to day . He was cutting the grass and enjoying the daffodils. He lives on Vancouver Island.

We have lotsa frost in the ground over here because we didn't get any snow until a week ago. They could not groom the trails until they got snow. And yet the few inches that we did have kept the lakes from freezing.....
Minus 38F or -37C this morning....First time that the geothermal had trouble keeping the house at the set point. Set at 68 but could only keep it at 66 ( the aux electric is locked off). The geothermal draws the same hydro as two baseboard heaters or 2.8 kW to heat the house ...

Sweatshirt weather last week, -18 this morning, was colder yesterday with high winds, hitting positive temperatures by Monday and should hold for the week. Anyone know if this mild, fluctuating winter temperatures will allow an increase in ticks etc this coming spring?
