Earlier this week, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) encouraged drivers in Ontario to keep their snow tires on, despite the recent warm up and transition to the spring season…
”Typically we have to get through the first week of April in southern Ontario to say we’ve really cleared the threat of significant snow,” says Chris Scott, another meteorologist at The Weather Network. “Some years we have seen snow later than that, but typically in a place like Toronto, if you can get by April 10th and 15th, you’ve pretty much said, OK, spring is here and we’re done!”

Lake Nipissing - Saturday, 3.12.11
I find this shot of Lake Nipissing to have an ethereal quality to it–and not only when the weather is grey like this (I’ve adjusted the photo to officially have ‘greytones’ but the skies reflected in the lake with the white ground cover made it look as if there were no colour in itany way. It just looks ‘cleaner’ now).

There is a definite melt taking place, more pronounced in some areas than others–some of the webcam shots are really illustrative of that.

All the photos in this album were taken in Ontario, Canada. (The 80- year-old photo of my dad and his parents, Alice & Frank, was most likely taken in Ontario, though I cannot be 100% sure.)
Any photos of the family taken post- May 1955- pre 1990, unless she is in them, were taken by my mother, Margaret “Peggy” McCrackan who died on January 12, 2011.
Without my mom there to record them photographically, many moments would be lost to time passing. The downside of course is that we have few photos of her from 1955 – onward.
Chapleau - Late Saturday March 5, 2011
From Environment Canada, updated late Saturday afternoon Southern Ontario Weather Warning:
Summary
..Rain at times heavy…will continue into tonight over the east.. A frontal system currently extending from Western Lake Erie to Haliburton to Renfrew is expected to continue moving southeastward. It is expected to lie at midnight from Ohio to Western Lake Ontario to north of Ottawa and by early Sunday morning from New York state to south of the St Lawrence river. Rain at times heavy has shifted further to the east ahead of this frontal system to regions north of Lake Ontario. Over Southwestern Ontario rain has tapered off to light rain and is changing or will be changing to snow in the next few hours with gusty northerly winds and a risk of freezing rain. Over the eastern regions where the warning is still in effect, total rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm are expected. The warning criteria is 25 mm within 24 hours (fairly conservative criteria) based on the fact that runoff is more significant in areas where snow pack is minimal and the ground is still frozen.

I’m kicking myself that I didn’t start following the Haliburton Creative Business Incubator on FaceBook sooner. They have great up-to-the minute news on people who keep Haliburton vital business-wise. My opinion is that it is crucial to have a balance of business and beauty in the Haliburton Highlands! From a FB ‘wall posting’ today:
