Springtime in Ontario

[lew]

The temperature in Yuma has been in the mid-80's all month.

 

Garry, my next door neighbor has a place in Yuma and has been there since last October and just got home last night. I was just talking to him a few minutes ago and think he's in shock right now after seeing all the snow we've still got.

Ya I have a buddy that spends winter in Florida he came back a couple weeks ago, I phoned him the other day and he told me he`s back in Florida said call him when it warms up!!!

Well it ain't coming anytime too soon....

 

... this mornings "fun". Figured I may as well enjoy the first windless day in 2 weeks before plowing it.

 

The ice shot is taken from the Cedar Point / Lighthouse Point Ferry towards Blue Mountain!.. Nottawasaga Bay locked TIGHT with 2+ feet of ice.

 

Think I'll head North next week... 3 feet of ice and travel to back lakes should be mint!

We got a good 8-10 inches here last night, time to wind up the blower.

[Big Cliff]

6-8" here last night, going to finish my coffee and get the blower going too!

[lew]

Around 5" over my way and the blowers all gassed and ready to go.

 

Didn't start here till 4 AM and was over by 8 but it came down fast.

No early Robins yet. That's my sign for spring

A few Robins in my neck of the woods.

Yesterday was a beautiful day here. (Port Dover/Simcoe area)

Wife and I were out and about most of the day. Saw at least a half dozen in our travels.

No early Robins yet. That's my sign for spring

Saw a pair Friday evening gathering nesting material as the sun was setting. Regardless the weather spring is an eventuality. Has been every year since I can remember.

[bushart]

local papers here are reporting sightings of waterfowl returning with little to no open water

[irishfield]

Fairly normal Terrance... Remember Lloyd and I ice fishing Lake Temagami in March of 2009 and being dive bombed by a nesting pair of gulls protecting their "rock"... 38" of ice !

I keep a couple bird feeders going all winter outside the front window and it's always nice to have a few dozen birds here all the time. Jays, chickadees, cardinals, finches, mourning doves, plus whoever else decides to drop in for dinner.

Like the deer, turkeys, rabbits. Tried feeding the rabbits here one winter, the owls and fox took care of that plan LOL.

[lew]

We have deer everywhere around here Cliff, infact there's 5 or 6 in the yard right now and usually a few turkeys too, but I NEVER see any rabbits so maybe your fox & owls came from this area LOL
