The Overview
We are dancing with an active polar vortex which has kept the cold close to home – the north pole. There is a term Arctic Oscillation which is well explained on the Weather Network. It is about the pressure systems showing low in the Atlantic off our coast, keeping the north in check with record breaking high ratings. This will make for calmer weather and reduce chance of deep colds returning for long periods. We are edging towards Spring – this motion seconded by Wiarton Willie who doesn’t know how to spell oscillation!
The Radar Never Lies!
Our opening temperature starts at -12C(-16C) and it will rise to +5C (FL+2C) in the afternoon and then slip to +1C (FL -3C). A brief glimpse of Spring.
The winds start the day from the SW in the 20kph range and will swing to the South later in the day. Tomorrow is the same with the winds ending up out of the North late in the day. Relatively warmer breezes for a wee bit!

Course Update
There are 47 days til green grass. The PGA tour is in Mexico. The sun and wind will be shrinking the snowpac closer to the grass. Your clubs will know this. Do you? Is your game ready for the golf season? We know you are getting restless to golf and party. The golf bug bite will continue to itch and needs to be scratched. While getting warmer, it is still not warm enough to get outside and play. Nothing beats a few holes of golf with your family. The hi-def indoor simulator is operating and ready fore you and your foursome. Or bring 8 and play a two-person scramble with 4 teams. Times are full today so book now for tomorrow! 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 glad it has its snow covering as this weather hits. We continually monitor the playing surfaces – they are in great shape!
