Ice and Snow

Image
Peter, Kim and I spent close to 3 hours clearing the trees from the road. 23 of them! I slept well that night (from exhaustion) and I'm sure Peter and Kim did also.. Here are some pictures.. March 12th.   And then it started to snow.  The trip to 911 is beautiful.. March 14th. You can drive under this one leaning across the road. The forecast is for more snow this coming week. And rain. Rumor is that Spring is around the corner. Ed

Road Work Planned

Image
 The annual general meeting of the Cottagers Association happened on May 18th, 2025. It was well attended and a new Committee was appointed. Road fees have also increased. For details, please see the minutes which were sent by email.  If anyone did not received the minutes, please comment back with instructions where to send them. We have scheduled work on the road with machines to do ditching and culvert work  starting on June 6th, 7th and 8th. After this work is complete, gravel will be spread starting on the 9th.  There may be some delays for traffic during these days. Note that there will be cones put up indicating road work ahead.  If anyone is able to volunteer time to help with laying and backfilling the culverts, with the survey rod to help with the grading and also help traffic past the machines, please let Peter H. know. Other notes: The blackflies have been thick and mosquitoes are appearing. The dragon flies are also starting to appear and will feast...

March 11 2026 Ice Storm

Image
We experienced a major ice storm today. Power has been out since about 3 pm and we are running our generators. Here are some pictures I took today during the ice storm. I drove from our place to the top of Maple Hill - Terry Young's gates. It started to ice rain heavily so I did not venture out to 911 from the top of the hill. I will tomorrow and will post again. Many branches came down, but I did not see any trees on the road. I may tomorrow when I go to 911. The picture below is at John J's place where some larger branches came down. Luckily John had moved 2 snowmobiles from this spot earlier. Here is a view of the lake from our place. And a view of our place at the back. At 11 pm the temperature is registering almost 3 degrees and the wind has picked up. Ice from the branches is melting and dropping. For those that know our place with the wall of windows on the lake side, the ice from the branches hitting those windows sounds a bit scary... the dogs sure think so.
