Veranda Gift Shop Hillside Beach
Hmmm…am I the only one blogging here (seems the last 3 posts were mine) or am I not using this thing properly?
Well its Dec 28 and the weather is nice (-12C when I checked the thermometer this morning @ 7:00). Today is starting off sunny. Went for a walk down to the boat launch (on Harry Craig road).

Abnormal Winter Weather everywhere
..below zero temperatures for close to three months now. On Friday there was a big pile-up on one of the Autobahns near Augsburg. There were 72 vehicles involved. Only the older generation remembers that snow and frost used to be normal for winter.
Manitoba at least seems to be having a winter with a lot less snow and higher temperatures than it used to.

The extreem Windchill warning for our area continues. The only consolation is that we have far more snow on the ground than Winnipeg. All you snowmobilers out there. Take your vehicles up to the Lake!

Winter in Manitoba has its own Charm
I also like Winter though. I guess you have to, if you want to spend any kind of time in Manitoba.
I made a few pictures of Winter in Hillside Beach, so you can maybe understand why I like it.

A boat from Poplar River River with a crew of three capsized on Lake Winnipeg yesterday. The crew was going to pick up bouys on the Lake to clear up before winter when they ran into engine trouble.

Weather sunny and dry this week-end
This week-end at the Lake is expected to be perfect Fall cottage weather. Mainly sunny on Saturday with 0% chance of percipitation and sunny on Sunday.

Relatively warm weekend, but chance of frost tonight
For tonight there has been a Green-thumb alert, a frost warning, for parts of Manitoba.
This will probably not affect the beaches area due to warmth from the Lake, but if you have sensitive plants you might want to prepare none the less.
