The Northern Edge 49° 59

A Walk On the Gopher less Trails

Posted by: plapman, 12:54 PM GMT on January 08, 2013

Today will bring increasing cloudiness with periods of snow beginning this morning with 2 to 4 cm expected. The wind will become southerly at 30 km/h gusting to 50 this morning then becoming west 30 gusting to 50 this afternoon. The high will be near 0C.
Tonight will see the snow ending overnight then clearing. There will be local blowing snow late this evening and overnight as the wind swings to the northwest at 40 km/h gusting to 60. The overnight low will be -8.
------------------------------------------------- ---
I took Abbey out on the full walk along the gopher-less trails yesterday. She ventured into the snow covered fields and came home panting. It sure is a good workout for her. Today I'll try the walk again hoping I don't get blown to Oz by the strong southerly winds.
With the winds swinging to the north it looks like our thaw will be over before the neighbors girls can make snowmen. I think the 3 girls may have outgrown that stage in life though.

You can always head north before the front passes, so you can walk with the wind at your back, then when the front passes, turn around so the northerly wind is at your back for your trip home! :) Member Since: February 3, 2011 Posts: 67 Comments: 11540
