I found out this morning that the creek ice isn't dependable to walk on yet. Thank goodness it was over shallow water where it failed the test. I did try another section over deeper slow moving water and it also cracked with my weight. That sure is a scary sound when you've carefully worked your way out to about 10 feet from shore then here a crrrrraaaaaaack

The water there would have been about waist deep, and this wasn't a good day for swimming, so I hastily retreated to shore and quit testing. Looks like we're going to add some more snow to the covering we have now. They're predicting a few more inches tomorrow night. All I can say is winter was slow in getting here, but now it's with us!

I love the cold weather. My favorite hunting is cold, snowy, and windy. It really separates the men from the boys. Foul weather forever!

-39C here with the wind around Ottawa today, and -40F is -40C, damn cold. Somehow I still did not put a hat on going from that car to class.
