Yes, it was a bit chilly Saturday.
Sunday, we were warned about ice rain, but that won't happen.
It's an interesting phenomenon, Lake Effect snow. You can see where the radar is predicting rain over the Great Lakes.
Then, there is the Great Lakes currents map.
In Muskoka, the lakes are so deep, with boulders strewn. Lots of granite and pink pretty rocks.
Out and about
The goldfish pond is as frozen as... _________. Well, you can fill in the blank.
With the leaves all down, I can see across the wetland. I've learned to love it. Things are pretty shallow here. Otty Lake, nearby, has a maximum depth of 60'. It's quite a different ecosystem.
Outdoor and Indoor Chores
Outdoors, I cleaned the bird bath. Lots of ice crystals, and bird poopies. I came in the basement door, and forgot to bring the equipment in. Today it is snowing.
Happily, it was a bit warmer Saturday. I managed to set the VIDEO mode for my new trailcam. (I re-re-read the itty bitty manual!)
I brought the battery in from the lawn tractor. I hope it's not too late for it. I totally forgot. It wasn't on the list! [Fall chores]
Trying to saw up the broken branch in the back with the skilsaw, the battery died after three cuts. Back to square one.
Indoors, I did laundry, two loads of sheets. I remade our bed, and I shall look forward to getting in and snuggling in clean sheets. Small pleasures!
Grampa managed to put the decals on his school bus. Also, he made them masks, after Josephine noticed the figures didn't have them. They are socially distanced in their seats, as well. YAY! Winter break for two weeks!
