Happenings in the Ontario Highlands April 2013

Highlands Weather April 27 through May 10
It’s spring so yeah, it’s rainy–that’s what we all know we need. The temps look really good though–very normal highs and geez, how many more times am I going to note this(?) –higher than normal low temps. I have a problem with neither.
Also to note–the boats are back in the water in Kincardine Harbour as well as some other locations, while places like Kawagama Lake still look at least partially frozen. Diversity is good, right?

With any luck and the cooperation of our beloved Mother Nature, the rain should bring good conditions for summer–you know, lots of green and hopefully a low chance of fires in the Highlands. Fingers crossed!
Highlands Weather to be Soggy and Seasonably Mild (for awhile, anyway):

You may recall seeing a shot of one of my sons, tubing on Maple Lake. It was the only summer that the motorboat that was purchased quite used by my parents functioned while we ere visiting. In the photo set I have today, the boat is dead/ dying. It’s almost sunset and we are waiting to see if we can go for a spin but a boat ride is not looking hopeful. Even so, the Maple Lake-with-family 1990′s-era photos are pretty.

In re: the 14- day Extended Weather Outlook (West Guilford) Haliburton Highlands (above). The low temperatures remain above normal and the highs are about average. Such an interesting weather pattern for the Highands. At least there’s some precipitation!

Lots o’ building in downtown Haliburton?
The black-flies and mosquitoes are still quite thick and the upcoming damp, post weather week ahead probably won’t help that situation too much. Use your insect repellant of choice.I think I’ll just dress from head to toe when not submerged in the water. Never mind me; I brought home one heckuva, IDK, (horse?)fly bite on the side of my face, blood had been plentiful and it scabbed and took forever to heal. Yuck and ouch. So those bugs are still at the cottage however the weather in one week is supposed to pick up and and get quite decent. Check it out:
