We got dumped on! All morning. And last night. So when it looked bright after lunch I went for a stroll not really knowing what to expect. Our condo entrance was full of snow:
Looking north-west -
And right to the entrance - compare that if you will to the scene on April 8 -
However, where I wanted to walk was clear. This is the Trans Canada Trail, the Ganaraska Trail, the Millenia Trail, the Gordon Lightfoot Trails for Life Trail, and umtil 1985 the CP rail line into Orillia:
And here's how the trails were cleared - at Tudhope:
The trails eastward:
And this is what 40cm might look like if protected from the wind:
Now, just 15 to 20Km north the snowfall was 130Cm and the highway is still closed 24 hours later, but that will be another entry.

Thanks, Bill, for the first-hand account and excellent photos. Stay warm, dry and upright. Anne
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne. Not much has changed here since - no new that I know- Further north recorded 140cm somewhere in Bracebridge and relatives are well there. The lake is still open. And a cormorant is to be seen drying its feathers! All is well with the world except that it is too hot.
