Wishing All A "Happy New Year"

Winter Roads

Poor visibility and deteriorating driving conditions greatly reduced the traffic on this snowy highway today.

Winter Garden

Another snowstorm; our third within a week!

Winter Machines: Sidewalk Plow

A heavy snowfall kept this little sidewalk plow busy all day long clearing the falling snow from our village sidewalks. Yesterday was definitely a day for snowplowing and shoveling.

Storm Walking

We are now, at this time of posting, within the grips of yet another winter storm with ten to fifteen centimeters of snow forecast. Later today, winds and blowing snow will add another stormy dimension to the mix. How quickly a storm can change the winter landscape of the same location; from the tranquility of yesterday's posting to the stormy one presented today with this early morning snowfall.

Snowman Season

After a brief respite from winter over the holidays, snow began falling again last evening and created a wintery, white world all over my yard once more.

My Frozen White World

During the spring and summer months I often stand on this observation deck and watch Osprey fishing in the river below.

Snow Rollers

Following a major winter storm earlier this week large snowballs were seen dotting fields around the Fredericton area. This unusual winter phenomena of Snow Rollers, which needs just the right weather conditions in order to form, was the result of gusty winds picking up snow and hurling and rolling it along open spaces resulting in large snowballs accumulating in fields and meadows.

Northern Cardinal After the Storm

This handsome male Northern Cardinal frequented our feeder area yesterday in search of food after the winter storm.

Major Winter Storm

This early morning view out my window shows a huge accumulation of snow overnight and yet to come is another 10 to 15 centimeters predicted for today.

Trans-Canada All the Way

On previous road trips there were still some sections of the Trans-Canada highway single lane traffic west of Woodstock. However, just ten days ago we enjoyed surveying new landscapes as we travelled all the way to the Quebec border on the newly opened sections of the Trans-Canada. It is now entirely double-laned.

Sheep's Wool Skies

These mid-level autocumulas clouds reminded me of sheep's wool.

Heading West

When getting of on an early morning start to spend a few days in Quebec, our westerly direction was confirmed when seeing the morning sunrise reflected in our car's rear-view mirror.
