I am using as much of the good weather as I can before the weather turns. Hopefully the rainy period will be short as its the worst of the worst. I don't mind the snow as long as we don't get back to back storms. With the snow I can do things outside, ski, shovel, or snowmobile, but rain brings...

Sunny but windy, 0C. Nice conditions, but time is limited, soon the snows will be upon us.

The weather has been repetitive, but from the looks of the weather maps, there is cold air building up in the north. It won't be long before that descends. I am going to look at snow throwers; a small one I can manage that can assist me with snow shoveling. 0C mainly cloudy.

In those conditions a snow shovel maybe good for throwing water at each other to cool off. The weather here is in a holding pattern too nothing very interesting, just the same thing over and over. The election south of us is over, perhaps we will feel the effects of lower prices and some relief...

At this time of year we should be close to the freezing mark expecting snow. However, I'll take it since I can still go out with sandals on and not have to shovel snow.

6C very mild, some sun at the moment, but expecting rain later mixing into snow overnight with little accumulation expected.

Its a wet one, steady rains through the night, and the next couple days will see more rains. The snowshoe hares are changing their fur colors, they are a mixture of white on brown at the moment, before turning white as snow. 5C mild and wet.

The clocks went back last night, and now we have brighter warmer mornings, along with a longer evening with the earlier sunset. Mild for the time of year, 5C expecting rain later.

I hope your friend has a good medical plan Carol, that plan has all the flight characteristics of a dog house. But the idea of a mobility scooter is a good way for people to get out more. We didn't get the snow, but it was cold last night down to -8C. Hard to believe it is already November.

I have to watch my step, as I havn't bee very steady for awhile, I sleep on the main floor, and have done so for a few years now, stairs are not my friend Tony. The canoe, I'll just have to watch it, I am not quite ready to hang up the paddle. No canoing today though, we are expecting the first...

It was a summer like day, instead of working around the house, I went out in the canoe, observed the two muskrats playing in the water and the ducks beyond, the water was calm as glass. I am not so steady on my legs anymore and just about fell in to the water when stepping out of the canoe at...

No halloween out here where I live, but if I lived in town I would put up a display and have some fun. I would buy one of those two story inflatable black cats as seen advertised and make a couple of 'enhancements'. Since it has that long tail, I would hook it up to a garden hose along with a...

We get little help from the government, an small old age supplement which is enough for one month's worth of basic grocery's out of the year. Some stores offer senior discounts, but that is about it. Halloween is very different over here, people put up elaborate halloween displays, the kids...

I picked up a load of furnace oil and topped up the tank after taking the truck in for its annual rustproofing. The price was $1.35 per liter, the cheapest in years, but still highway robbery with all the taxes. What I could not get into the tank, is stored in the shed. The mornings are getting...

This place has been quiet, I've been working outside, monitoring the fridge, it appears to be okay, my guess is I over stuffed the freezer, because for awhile it was packed full and probably couldn't breath. We had another dusting of snow this morning, colder at -3C, but still pretty gentle.

0C partly cloudy. There was a dusting of snow on the deck earlier this morning, a stark contrast to yesterday when the temperature reached 20C under partly cloudy skies. I wasted half the day taking apart the fridge and thawing out the coil which was basically a block of ice with a hair dryer...

I noticed ice in the tube last night using a flashlight. I had the same issues with the old fridge, the first time defrosting worked, the second time years later I had to replace the timer (clock), but the new fridges no longer use mechanical clocks, and one must replace the control board; if...

12C almost summer like, with a thunderstorm last night. I woke up to a fridge that is warm and constantly running, the last thing I need. It appears frosted up, hopefully defrosting it will solve the problem, if not it could be a bit of a hunt to figure it out, these new fridges do not have the...

You looks to be in good company Tony, nothing like a good pet with their unconditional love. The good weather continues, and just maybe a bit too good. I was surprised when my neighbor came up to get some water. Their well is drying up. Its not the best well, but its never failed over the...

The extended summer weather continues, its sunny this morning and warming up. Its clear that is its fall by the sounds of gunshots off in the distance, and chainsaws whining away like toddlers in the rows behind on the plane. My wood effort is pretty much finished, but I will keep going for the...
