It snowed a few days ago... about 4 inches... now it is melting.
I don't have any photos today, someone send me photos. Perhaps I will walk around the park and take a few photos tomorrow...
The temperature right now is 56F / 13C. WOW!
Almost time to lay out and start a tan :-) Okay, maybe not, but I bet it is warm in a sheltered area with no wind.
Sun is shining.
A few people dropped into the park this weekend for a hot tub (waving at Bruce).
Haven't been able to snowshoe, cross country ski or skate this winter but... the winter is ALMOST OVER.
Not much to report on these days as ... there is not much going on.
A few people walk around the park and walk dogs but, as far as the Bare Oaks schedule goes, there is not much activity at the clubhouse.
Next event is Euchre on Saturday March 3.
Lots of people are on vacation at the moment.

Snow and cold...
Well, we had a bit of snow last night. They said we would get 4 inches but we got about an inch. So predictable.
It's cold and windy ... 10F / -12C (I think).
The roads are icy again, drive slowly.
Photo: the path from the washrooms to the camping area. Taken a few days ago.
Photo: The river is high.
Photo: The 'square foot' gardens. You can rent these for the summer. Well, I think they are still available to rent but not 100 percent sure.
A few branches of the roads at the back are still closed due to ruts.
There is yoga from 12 to 1pm Sunday and Wednesday from 8pm to 9pm.
Darts every Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm.
Today's interesting photo is from Wendy and Kim. Twin foals born at their friends farm the weekend of January 29. At the time these were taken they were 40 hours old. The little one with the purple coat is Trinity - a little girl and the other little one with the red coat is Kiah - a little boy.
Aren't they cute !!

February 3
No snow yet! Yeah!
Photo: This is a photo of the back road in front of the shower house, taken November 26, 2008. Thanks Frank for the photo!!
Photo: This is a photo of the back road in front of the shower house, taken February 2, 2012. Not much snow this year.
Photo: The firepit near the Outback that Ulli built last summer.
Photo: One of the side roads is closed due to the ruts.
Photo: The side road that is closed is also covered in ice. Very dangerous to walk on.
The temperature is 40F / 4.5C. WARM!!! What a great winter! Not so great for the skiers... and people who actually like the snow.
Not much happening here. There is euchre tonight starting at 7:30PM.
I will leave you with this lovely SUMMER aerial photo of the park.
8 more weeks of winter... then we start to get mosquitoes... (sigh).

Halfway through winter ...
The winter is just zipping by...
No real snowfall yet... which is very very nice. I remember shoveling every day for weeks last year.
Here are some photos from Wendy and Kim (thanks!). The Copeland Forest, the same location, one taken in the summer and one in the winter.
Also from Wendy and Kim... this is a weird photo. They said: It's a picture of twin unborn moose and the one twins has two heads. The mother killed by a car. This is an actual photo from their MNR days in Wawa District - 1973 - 1981. The Conservation Officers had never seen anything like it. It's totally unique. (Click on photo for larger picture.)
The temperature today is 37F / 3C. Nice and balmy.
No snow, no rain, the roads are very icy though, with a thin layer of snow.
Drive slowly coming into the park.
Speaking of the road in... this photo was sent to me by Steve (thanks!) and was taken after a snowfall last Friday.
It's very cool... looks eerie. (Click for larger photo).
The wave pool swim was last Saturday... did anyone go? How was it?
Sandy left a message attached to a former blog (Monday blog) that said: We've had 2-6 people show up for Darts on Saturday, and 2 on Sunday who stayed after the Yoga at 1 p.m. Wednesday's yoga has been getting 6-8 people participating.
Yoga on Wednesday is 8pm to 9pm.
Yoga on Sunday is 12 to 1pm.
Is the yoga still 'nude mandatory'? Does anyone know?
So... there are events happening at the Clubhouse on the weekend. I noticed a few cars in the parking lot when I left on Saturday.
Feb 4 at 2pm is Non-competitive Afternoon of Darts
Feb 4 at 7:30pm is Euchre Night II.II
Only 9 more weeks of winter. My winter ends the end of March when the weather starts getting warmer and then we have... SUMMER!!

Monday
Wow, it is raining and the temperature is 42F / 5C.
Very nice. The snow is almost gone as you can see by the photo below of the Outback.
The yellow finches are very hungry. There are around 20 of them below the feeder (as always, click photo to enlarge).
This is a photo of the ski hill taken through the window of Wendy and Kim's condo. Very cool. Although the lights at night may bug someone who goes to bed early (not me). Thanks guys!!
Moose rolling in the snow. Well, almost rolling as my camera wouldn't recover in time to snap a good photo.
Photo: Okay, Moose says... what do you want?
Photo: Here you go...
Photo: path around the lake... which is GONE now due to the rain...
I have no idea about the condition of the roads around the park. Last time we had a thaw a nice member brought in a truck and sanded (or salted?) all the roads. Very nice of him :-)) I know of two people who fell on the ice this past week. I hope the ice melts as I'm sure a flash freeze may not be fun around here.
The lake is melting again. Someone was on it yesterday and walked to the raft which is in the middle of the lake. That... was... stupid. Of course, I'm not calling the person stupid, only the act :-)
No events to report. Not many people venture outside of their places during the day. It's very quiet here...
In case anyone is interested, Papa D's in Sharon (pizza, wings, salads) delivers to the park as does Pizza 777 (pizza) in Mount Albert. You have to meet them at the gate. Also, Chen's Restaurant (chinese food) in Mount Albert is very good. I don't think they deliver.
If anyone has any news... email me or post a message.
