Based on the 14-day extended weather outlook. I’d say though winter is coming , it is not quite here yet.

I’m glad to see more normal rainfall. The temperatures, both high and low are above average–or average most of the time. The forecast lows are all above the norm. I would hope since the rain is on and off week-to-week that the water tables are getting some action.

Yay, no fall drought!

As usual, there is a host of activities in the Highlands from which to pick including charity fundraisers and functions, a film festival, world-class entertainment, myriad arts and/or crafts endeavors, Christmas goodies and much more. Check ‘em out!

My music pick is folk songstress, Teresa Doyle who performs at the Haliburton Highlands Museum on Nov 17.  Mark your calendars!

I’ve got to be straight with y’all: I am not at all a winter person but I do like to get out and then quickly get IN places and stay for awhile. Fortunately, the Haliburton Highlands offers many, many places to go and things to see, some for charitable cause, some for profit, some for free–and best of all for your enjoyment and/or to benefit your community! Just because the weather is a-changing (as I’ll address in a moment) does not mean you have to stay home getting cabin fever. Bundle up and get going. You won’t want to miss a thing!

14-Day Weather Outlook – Nov 3 through Nov 16

As we move into mid-late Autumn in the Haliburton Highlands area, the weather pattern of above-normal nighttime temperatures continues with only about 2 days of very slightly below normal temps overnight. It looks like there will only be a chance of showers 2 out of the 14 days which is well below normal (and hopefully, won’t continue). Conversely, daytime temperatures look to reach normal only 2 days out of the 14 with the rest below normal, significantly so on some days.

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!

Though it is a holiday weekend in the Haliburton Highlands, it doesn’t mean that there will be nothing to do! Especially if you have not yet finalized your plans for your turkey meal, you’ll want to read on about some tasty choices from a more casual lunch to a grand dinner. Afterward, you can decide how you’d like to round out your long weekend from a visit to the last County Farmer’s Market this year, to a Studio Tour, to  a Christmas Craft Sale, to discovering the ‘wonderful world of fungi’!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
