Where's that darn groundhog?

March Break...Spring is supposed to be around the corner. That corner seems to be moving further away. The snow that came down last Wednesday was one snowfall I was willing to skip the shoveling.

And so we ditched the shovel and headed north and braved the traffic on the 400. Believe it or not, once we got to Newmarket, the snow had stopped.
Actually it didn't reach that far north.
It was dry as a bone. All we saw was deer crossing the roads.



All the outdoor rinks closed on March 13. But up north the lake was still frozen. In some spots the ice was still 3 to 4 ft thick.

There was a guy ice fishing. Wonder if he caught anything.
Too bad the ice hut we saw was locked.





And there was still enough snow on the lake for us to try out some new skate skis.
Sometimes with a passenger and sometimes without.






And we cleared a section of the lake to skate.
And some else cleared a path for others to follow.






I think I saw this scene in a
I am Canadian
commercial.
