Whelbourns in Canada

• Friday 20 February 2009 - Winter is over ....ooops perhaps not

Well last week we all thought winter was coming to an end. Temperatures soared to 3 degrees above freezing and the ice was melting, with big wet drips off the icicles hanging from our gutters.

But then along comes a quick snow storm to deposit 20cm of snow over night and temperatures back below zero and Winter reminds us it is still around for March too.  Then last night we had another 30cm and 25cm forecast for Sunday night! WOW did those Groundhogs get it right after all?

.

We are still making the most of Winter weather with skiing, snowball fights and other winter outings. Below are some snaps from earlier this month.

Gemma, Jules and the new man in their lives (nice Moustache)

Old Blue Eyes herself (don't tell her I used this caption)

Just the two of us, and no I am not trying to throw her to the floor.

Tomorrow we are back to Odell Park to take more cross country skiing lessons and debating whether to go to Crabbe Mountain for some Downhill Skiing this weekend too(it is only $40 for an hour). I would really like to get some snowshoeing in before the end of February and the thaw kicks in.

Perhaps next year I can convince them all to come out for some extreme camping! (Yes, people here do go camping in the winter  and I don't mean the Inuit)
