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).

Southern Ontario, Canada Winter scenes – (scroll down for the full collection of web shots I took on 03.11-12.11):


Includes PHOTOS of: Boler Mtn. London, Burlington Lakefront, Canada, Chapleau River, Chicopee Ski Resort, Delawana Bay, Gilmour, Horseshoe Resort, Kincardine Channel, Kincardine Harbour, Lagoon City, Lake Nipissing, Lakefield, Magnetawan River – Britt, ONT, Ottawa, Parliament Hill, Penetangore River, Southern Ontario, Reach Harbour, Sand Point Lake, Sarnia Bay, Steenburg Lake, and Thunder Bay.

There is a definite melt taking place, more pronounced in some areas than others–some of the webcam shots are really illustrative of that.
I’ve posted the weather for Saturday as of 5 a.m. Saturday.

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.
