Hay River, NWT

The Hay River, like many others around the country, was abnormally low by the end of the summer because of our summer drought.

It’s normal for the water level to drop over the course of the summer, but the weather has been unusually dry, leading to a significant reduction in the water levels. Despite that, the waterfall is still impressive.

Happy Friday; happy weekend.

Snow Canopy

Our rise in temperature caused this snow canopy to develop. You can see where the door has shaved off some of the snow; whittled it down so to speak.

You might be wondering why we haven’t knocked it down. Actually, it’s attached up there rather solidly, and secondly, that’s a lot of snow. If we knock it down, we will have to shovel it off our steps, and since it has become warmer, the snow has become denser and heavier.

That’s probably more than you wanted to know about snow. 😉

Happy Tuesday.

Arriving in the Okanagan Valley …

… from the Coquihalla Connector through the Okanagan Mountain range in August.

About 40 km (25 mi) above the valley with Lake Okanagan in the distance.
On our final decent into the valley.
Nearly there on a beautiful late August day.

After our huge snowfall from last weekend and the cold weather that followed, I needed to see some reminders of sunny days and bright skies.
