This week’s Haliburton Highland’s weather remains slightly warmer than normal with no snow at all before Thursday, February 9. The week’s temperatures will see-saw somewhat with variable clouds, cloudy periods, and cloudiness with sunny breaks all on the menu through Thursday.

Nighttime temperatures will be cold and well below freezing.

Minden CAR RACES ON ICE!!! this weekend!

Hey, don’t miss the Car Races on Ice at the Minden fairgrounds on February 4th and 5th where you can have a blast and support your community with proceeds going to stock up the local Food Bank. This is exactly where I’d be if I were to be in the Highlands this weekend. One day, once my cottage is outfitted, for it I will hit up this event!

Haliburton Highlands Long Term Weather - January 19, 2012

I just took a peek at the extended forecast and as previously reported, it looks like the winter of 2011-12 is going to be remembered for it’s above-seasonal temperatures mixed with about average precipitation. The worst part I think most folks would agree, is the melting of the snow on days like predicted on this coming Monday with a high of 36F degrees. When Monday’s nighttime temperatures roll around it will get icy so many will wake up to icy conditions on Tuesday morning. After Monday’s mixed precipitation, Tuesday’s snow won’t have a chance to melt with a 30-degree F day and scattered flurries. And so it goes. Happy trails!

If you are more the indoor, stay-warm type like me you may well enjoy the spirits and good company found at The Wild Moose Pub‘s Single Malt Social. Described as a ‘scotch nosing and dinner experience’ you will experience too, a different 1 oz. single malt whisky explained with each course.
