All Quiet on the Weather Front…..Today…..

by | Feb 17, 2020 | Muskoka Weather | 0 comments

The Overview

Today is relatively calm, with light winds and some hope of sun. An ill wind blows from the East. A wet wind blows from the SE. We will experience all 3 forms of wet overnight and into tomorrow morning as we start with snow at midnight, and move to freezing rain around 7AM and rain at 10AM then back to some random snow around noon. The roads are in good shape today, and the plows will be out tonight trying to keep then passable with this mixed weather front. The horizontal and vertical trails are in the best shape of the season and will be challenged with this change in weather. We are edging towards Spring – this motion seconded by Wiarton Willie!

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at -9C(-9C) and it will stay at -5C (FL-8C) in the afternoon and then slip to -8C (FL -15C) overnight. A major front of mixed precip is arriving tonight from the SW.
The winds start the day from the NE in the 6kph range, swinging to the SE later in the day when they become ill winds blowing no good at 15kph through early Tuesday morning. A swirling motion centered around Manitoulin Island will then develop mid tomorrow morning and bring the winds to the West at close to 30kph, slowing to 15kph as we head into tomorrow evening.

Or bring 8 and play a two-person scramble with 4 teams. 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. 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.

Weddings are a special day for many people involved. Here at Muskoka Highlands, we reduce that stress with attention to every detail.
But our distinguishing feature is our setting – both inside and out. The clubhouse is designed to hold about 85 guests and the picture shows how this can happen. For larger parties, we engage a tent professional to create a unique setting outside.
