Haliburton Ontario Canada – July 25 2012

Happy mid-week to everyone! My mind has been on Maple Lake this week as when the weekend finally rolls around we will be rolling in to the Highlands! Woot! It is not fun being 700 miles from paradise knowing that in another lifetime I’d only be only about 2 hours away! Family history fact: We are the only piece of the modern incarnation of our family to have moved to the U.S. It was due to work opportunity, otherwise the only place I would choose over Ontario would be someplace warm-year-round and here in the Chicago area is not it, despite it being a very nice place. Anyway…I just looked at the extended weather outlook for the Highlands and it looks fantastic! I hope Mother Nature is being kind this time because she was craptastic in late May. Not that it wasn’t beautiful because it always is. I just was so.very. cold., having not anticipated just how cold one can be when not dressed from head to toe in the wee hours of the morning in an unheated cottage. I know. I’m a wuss!

Though I wrote about several events that are upcoming this weekend, there are a few more to add as we move into August:

Please click the thumbnails as there are many diverse, exciting events you’ll want to read all about!

Dusk Dances – Last Night is Sunday the 22nd!

Hey there!

I hope you all are managing to stay cool and are bracing yourself for a really hot-weather day on Monday. No better time to be in the Highlands relaxing by or in one of the many beautiful, bountiful lakes after you have headed out to enjoy the many fun and charity-oriented activities that the Highlands offer. On the menu in the coming days and weeks are dusk dances, yoga classes, dog pedicures for charity, biking, music, summer zumba, opera lessons, a charity golf classic and more!

As usual, I’m including this week’s 14-day weather outlook. We’ve reached a point now that part of our vacation time is in the forecast and it really does not look bad. I’m glad of the warmer temperatures and I don’t mind the rain because we all know–it’s needed! The warmth and wet makes the bugs happy, too as you can see in the bug forecast. Sometimes, Deet (bug repellant) is a cottager’s best friend!

Haliburton July 14.2012

Hola!

I’ve been searching for a way to get an accurate weather report for the Maple Lake area and then share it here (for the longest time!). Let me tell you, there are precious few no actual weather forecasts done for Maple Lake, nor Minden Hills, Minden or Carnarvon–at least none I can find being shared on the Internet. Just Haliburton. And from what I’m finally concluding, Haliburton’s weather forecast is much different than Maple Lake, pop. 200′s daily weather (heck, when I’m at the cottage the weather forecast for Haliburton is almost never right!). For one thing, Haliburton is a town, it is asphalt and concrete and buildings spread about a smallish area with a river/lake in the middle. Maple Lake is a good-sized lake, surrounding by other lakes and there is little asphalt and few buildings, relatively speaking. No matter what, the Haliburton forecast and the Maple Lake one is not the same.

So I just set out on a search for a town or provincial park even, that’s weather report was more inline with what comes out of Maple Lake. The best I can do is Muskoka and Muskoka isn’t really near Maple Lake at all.

I’m going to use it anyway because it does seem to reflect the difference in daily temperatures between Haliburton, which gets much warmer than Maple Lake and Muskoka which seems at least slightly closer to being accurate. So, here goes with a mix this week.

No matter where you reside–Muskoka,  Haliburton or somewhere in the vicinity we will be continuing the trend of drought-like conditions and record-setting heat so conserve when you can and otherwise– that is why you are in cottage country, right?–get in the lake to cool off!

Here is the 14-day forecast, which I’ll adjust each week in an attempt to make it more precise (all the stuff I just wrote above, not withstanding).

Haliburton Ontario July 6 2012

First off, I wanted to say Hi Dad! as he is at this moment at the cottage at Maple Lake. Be sure to stop by and be neighbourly as he’s elected to go solo this year. Maybe he’ll like it so much he’ll stay as we’ll be there…OMG in two weeks! Woot! We just ordered a telescope and I am totally excited. Roger and I love to stargaze but the light pollution here in the NW Chicago suburbs is brutal. No so at the Lake so we need to acquaint ourselves with it and then cross our fingers for some clear nights!

Despite the reputation of cottage country for being a respite from the heat of the city, when it gets as hot as it has been, even being at the cottage can get pretty stifling. But what doesn’t happen at night in the city during a heatwave does happen in cottage country, namely, it cools off.  Nights are awesome at Maple Lake, everyone says, and I agree it makes for great night’s sleep.

So what are you looking at weather-wise for the next day or so? This:

I’m pretty sure that 0° low on July 21 is a typo. It best be!

As usual, there are a plethora of activities slated for the Highlands and surrounding areas so thanks to the Haliburton Tourism Association for putting them all together in a nice package for you to peruse. Scroll down and make your plans for the weekend and beyond!

What’s Happening This Week & Summer in the Highlands

68 HAPPY CANADA DAY! Check Out Over 50 Ways to Celebrate in the Highlands! #algonquinhighlands #haliburtonhighlands

It’s a really big week coming up in the Highlands but the fun does not stop when it does. Take some time to peruse the dozens of activities in the Highlands by clicking the thumbnails above, as many great times are to be had that continue well beyond Canada Day.

We are still not sure when exactly we are going to be at Maple Lake as our siding people have the materials on order and we need to sync things up with them before departing. We have our fingers crossed but if push comes to shove I’ll end up hanging around the cottage as long as I need to.

I know for sure one activity that I don’t want to miss because 1. I’m a night owl and it runs in the afternoon, 2. it’s a farmer’s market so I can peruse great, fresh local produce EDIT/ and meat pies, cheeses and baked goods!–vast quantities of locally-cultivated EVERYTHING.  And there are local community/charity booths set up, too! I am so there! Oh and 3, it’s local to me! Here’s the flyer:

52 HAPPY CANADA DAY! Check Out Over 50 Ways to Celebrate in the Highlands! #algonquinhighlands #haliburtonhighlands

Haliburton County Farmer’s Market every Friday from 1- 5 p.m. through August 31!

With so many outdoor activities available let’s check the weather, shall we? I’m posting the two-week forecast every week to be a bit more precise–though heck, it’s the weather in cottage country–it will be what it will be. EDIT/ It looks fantastic!!!
