Our weather reprieve is over and we’re back to overcast, wind, and probably some rain or chunky rain – rain with snow bits in it – before long. Oh well, the sun and warmer temperatures were great while they lasted, but it is January!
The snow was falling on the mountaintops …
… and the lake was doing some wind-driven pounding on the breakwater boulders …
… but a small lakeside rink had some peewees enjoying the national pastime.
And what do chilly supervising parents do? They start a fire in one of the beach pits! And I could see that hot drinks and hot dogs were about to follow. How very iconically Canadian.
Happy Monday.

Lynette, you adjust to the climate you live, and find ways 😀

You definitely do and I am very familiar with that! I used to work in the Arctic/subarctic where temperatures could drop to -50C . It’s all about wearing the right clothes. 😊

A beach picnic in the middle of freezing winter!😊 How wonderfully resourceful and it looks very cosy. The warm food and drink will be much appreciated by the young players too. I love the photos, Lynette and wow, what a beautiful dramatic capture of the sea pounding the rocks!

Thank you very much for your lovely comments, Annika. That’s actually the long narrow lake (Okanagan Lake – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okanagan_Lake) that’s at the bottom of our valley. It was +3C out which wasn’t too bad but it was windy as well which made the conditions a bit more challenging. Beach picnics continue to go forward here as long as we’re on the “plus” side of the thermometer. Nevertheless, everyone was well-dressed for it and seemed to be having a good time. I bet everyone slept well afterward! Cheers.

We’re still around +3 C but yes, the wind and overcast are very wintery. It’s January so it’s to be expected but won’t last long as winters are very short here, thankfully. Cheers.

We’re heading into that same cold snap. Lots of extra bird feeding.
