Ontario PHOTOS – April 10 2013
Haliburton Highlands’ Happenings!
Chapleau River Mulligan’s Bay Sunset Ontario (March 14 2013)
I would love to visit this spot on Mulligan’s Bay and see one of it’s sunsets live and in person. Unless it is raining. They have a beautiful sunset every night of the week on this area of the Chapleau River.
14-Day Weather Trend West Guilford Haliburton Highlands
I can’t think of a single thing to say about the 14-Day Weather Trend for West Guilford/ the Haliburton Highlands. It looks yucky.
Maple Syrup Harvest
A funny thing I just realized –and it’s not that there is nothing yummier than pancakes with fresh maple syrup (see above). No, what I realized is that I taught my son to pronounce the word syrup, the way I way I was taught. Despite him being 100% Midwest American he pronounces it “seer-up.’ Here in the Chicago area (and maybe the rest of the country–not sure), it is pronounced ‘sir-up’. As I said, it is indisputable that no matter what you call it, genuine maple syrup is one of the yummiest taste sensations you’ll experience!

…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.
(Cr: Weather Network)
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!

What’s in Store Outdoors in The Haliburton Highlands This Weekend
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.
