Happy spring and Hi to all from the back of my car which is parked next to a Mickey D’s in Frederick, MD! Gotta love that free wifi.(Of course I had to have a cheeseburger and orange drink, too–I’m not a mooch!) Been here all week without <gulp> high speed Internet but I’m determined to not miss my weekly report of what’s happening in the highlands as well as some gorgeous Ontario photos and the 14 – Day Weather Outlook for the Haliburton Highlands. This post will be a bit quick and dirty as they say, but just the same it is all activities–many fundraising this week–that I think think you’ll glad to know about.
The weather this first full week of spring is going to be almost completely seasonal, mostly a tad warmer than normal highs and notable lows that will be higher than normal. Be sure to check it out below.

…Kincardine Harbour: the beginning of the Big Melt! (Cr: Weather Network)
Awesome shot of the ice plates breaking up, but what is just as neat is the next shot of a boat having it’s blue tarp removed. Not a second to waste once the waters have ‘defrosted in getting our beloved boats back on the open waters!

Despite Kincardine being a bit of a distance from the Haliburton Highlands, what’s happening there will soon enough begin in the Highlands. Take a look at the warming going on in the Long-Term Haliburton Highlands Weather forecast:
Long Term Haliburton Highlands Weather forecast:
Daytime highs are above freezing for 4 of the six days, with 3 of those days significantly above freezing. The rain too, is a sign that we are moving from winter into spring.
Finally, here’s a peek at the extended 14- day weather forecast for the Highlands or as I’ve taken to calling it: the new normal.

There’s no denying that the low temperatures for this entire winter have been significantly higher than normal with most of the high temperatures staying in the roughly normal zone. What this will mean to life in the spring/summer/fall in cottage country, I really have no idea–but I’m curious to find out!

Tapping Sugar Maples is a guaranteed good, if not slightly sticky time. Maple Syrup Harvest traditions continue as sap is gathered wearing snowshoes, carrying the harvest in bucket and boiling down the sap on a wood-fired evaporator.

Mt. St. Louis Moonstone Resort
Looking at the 14-day weather outlook for the Haliburton Highlands, one can see the continuation of what can only be described as a winter-long pattern. Thee low temperatures have been above average almost all the time, with the high temperatures remaining more or less normal for most of the winter.
In the Haliburton Highlands, there should be a nice covering of fresh snow on both Saturday and Sunday but the above-normal temperatures could make things a bit messy at times. Regardless, get out there and enjoy the Highlands’ winter.
