Saturday Snow!

The weather is cooperating. About time eh. It snowed last night and the temperature in Timmins dropped to about minus 16 Celcius. That’s good. After all, winter is winter. It’s supposed to be cold and snowy. Sure lots of people grumble about it. But that’s one of the nice things about living in Northern Ontario. We have cold. We have snow. And for the most part, it’s pretty easy to adjust to it. Snowmobilers seemed to have found their niche. No matter how cold it gets, you can always find a sledder cruising along and not minding the cold at all. Of course, those guys have become experts in their own right at how to stay warm. How else could you get guys riding for six, eight or even ten hours a day with the wind chill whipping at them the whole time? I was out earlier taking photos in the bush and the wind was blustery all morning. But the sun is shining and the local sledders were out enjoying the day.
