Yeah, but there ain't no trout out there. Tidal, salt water, that's why it ain't froze over like everything else within 200 miles of here

Re: Life in the Great White North

It looks like it's starting to cool down in the picture but still has a ways to go.
You haven't arrived yet until that body of water in the background is frozen over. Then you grab a couple of hockey sticks and a puck....and winter begins. In the meantime, maybe some cross country skiing.
I now live on the (Canadian) West coast so snow is mostly a thing of the past, now replaced by rain (same as Seattle area). I lived in Ontario for years and I miss a 'true' winter like that shown here in your photo. There is a lot to do in Winter and it can be a great time of year. When it becomes a bummer is when is becomes too long a season. I love the snow and winter for a 2-3 months but I like it gone come the end of February.
Great photo!

Awe inspiring pic.

We had similar coverage here but are now in the thaw for the next couple days. 48 F as I type this with a forecast of 59 F tomorrow. What a mess especially when the temps drop overnight and we end up with iced over roads.

Oh, well cold water just reminds me of trout. But if that's the case, I would SOOO be out fishing for whatever is out there and good to eat. :)

Hoss, my greatgrandmother lived in Lee, a bit north of you on Route 6. I remember her house at Christmas time, as a kid. All I can say is dang it was cold there!
