Quietly, Winter is Creeping Towards Us

The Overview

Today looks relatively clear, with a major front south of Lake Ontario. It might throw a bit of snow as far north as Gravenhurst mid-morning. Overnight the wind shift will bring the snow from GBay to Muskoka and points east.

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at -4C(FL -7C) and it will “warm” to -3c (FL -6C) in the afternoon and then drop to -10c (FL -17C) overnight. And continue falling on Wednesday.

The winds are quietly out of the West today. Tonight they will move to the SW and then to the NW increasing to 20kph before morning. This will bring the snow streamers.

Daylight Hours

Sunrise – 7:49AM, Sunset – 4:36PM. As we approach the shortest day of the year, the rate of loss of daylight slows, reflecting the slowing in the tilting of the earth away from the sun.

Road Report

Road report – The plows are quiet today as the roads are clear across the province. Tonight that will change with the snow streamers.

School Bus Status

No cancellations at this point.

Course Update

All sots of excitement in the hood as a Hawkowl was spotted on our property. A rare sighting!

Golf is infectious – why wait for the next 114 days to play. The hi-def indoor simulator is operating. The smiles and chatter all indicate a great time. Our simulator league starts December 1 – with 3 practice rounds before the new year. And the one round on the same course for everyone every week through the end of March. Prizing, skins – the game is the same, but the walk is shorter.

There is a wonderful blanket of snow on the course which will could be its layer of protection with this changing weather. More snow is better fore the course. We need a lot to absorb the January melt that happens every year.

The Simulator is Open!

When the golf bug bites and you can’t find a tee deck open anywhere, what do you do? You head to Muskoka Highlands where we have a state of the art hi-def simulator at the ready fore your game. With over 20 courses, we have a course fore everyone. And if you want a gathering with golf involved, we have all sorts of games on the simmy that your entire group can play. Where do you think we have taken you fore this hole?

The Dogs

Dog Update – Wizard is home from the 19th to Jan 2nd. It will be great to see how he is doing – as he trains in the Autism Assist program. We have heard from Angus and his owner Bill – great story that we will tell in the new year. Ancaster (Ellis) is hosting a major fundraiser in March. And Gavin continues to impress his new owner.

A Special Day In A Wonderful Setting

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.
