A Winter Wonderland Today!

The Overview

Mild weather is back and so is the snow – last night. We received about 10cm on our back deck. The trees are all coated in a wonderful layer of white. When the sun comes out it will be picture time! The roads are another story. Every plow is out working to clear them back to black. The sun later in the day will be a great assist. Til then, careful driving is a must. The snow mobile trails will love this latest snow as will the ski hills – a little powder skiing is always a plus. There might be some snow streamers tomorrow otherwise a pretty clear few days. We will drop in temp on Thurs, but back up fore the weekend.

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at -1C(-2C) and it will rise to +2C (FL-1C) in the afternoon with some sunshine and then drop to -7C (FL -11C) overnight. Mild weather til Thursday.

The winds are more settled coming from the NW fore most of the day at less than 10kph finally ending up out of the South later in the day. Tomorrow they will shift back to the West around 4PM and pick up speed to 20kph.

Daylight Hours

Sunrise – 7:26AM, Sunset – 5:37PM. Even with the snow – there will be melt from hereon. Less than 30 days til equal day and night.

Road Report

The majority of roads across the province are showing as partly or fully covered. The plows are busy. The overnight snow has made driving a challenge today. Err on the side of caution and leave yourself extra time to get to your destination .

School Bus Status

Ski Hill Report

The Ski Hills reporting remain in good condition for most of the province. The new snow will make fore fun skiing. Detailed info at onthesnow.ca/Ontario.
There are 59 days til green grass. Nick Taylor, from Abbotsford BC, showed great Canadian grit in winning the PGA Tour event in Pebble Beach. We know you as a Canadian are getting restless to golf and party. The golf bug bite will continue to itch and needs to be scratched. The hi-def indoor simulator is operating and ready fore you and your foursome. Times are filling so book now! It is time to start getting the swing in shape fore opening day, or before you might be headed South fore a golf trip like Brent Morrison yesterday. Call the clubhouse 7056461060 to book your time.

The grass will be starting to think sunny skies and warmer temps. New snow takes away old snow. The new layer from last night has already started to melt.

The Simulator is Open!
