Freezing rain, sleet, snow, and thunder and lightning during the sleet. A very interesting day. Sure appreciate the sanders who kept the roads passable all day.

Had an awesome cross country ski yesterday. Today, it's freezing rain. We'll see what that does to the trails.

Winter is like arguing with your SO. You think it's done and then she comes storming back in, "And another thing..."

I think today was the last cross country ski for the season. I'll give a find wax and put them to bed.

It got up to 1 C yesterday then plunged overnight making the ski trails lousy. That may be the end of the ski season.

If you want to support Greenland, here are some ideas. Look for their fish and shrimp in your grocery store, usually under Royal Greenland. They have skincare made from Greenlandic plants. www.faire.com/fr-ca/brand/...

Strangely, there are far less Canadian actresses who have moved to the states. I wonder why.

Good morning. I typically write science fiction, but a read of my Mennonite grandfather's journal sent me down the incredible history of my ancestors. Their story reads like a movie. I'm currently on my third book of that rabbit hole.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to support Greenland as they are under threat of a hostile takeover from a foreign power? Products they sell in N. America? Websites? #greenland

We've had a family of eagles move into our neighborhood here in Ontario about 10 years ago. It's fun watching them go through the changes.

Typically, it starts to melt here the end of March and is mostly gone by the end of April.

Home from the winter trip touring Spain and Portugal. Incredible sights but lots of rain. We are back to the snow which I prefer. At least in the snow, you can do things without getting wet.

Dear countries across the water. Canada has just gone through a difficult breakup. We're looking for a rebound partner. Or partners. The more, the better. Let's get together for social and financial interactions. Cooperation is strength. We wanna be friends. #Europe #Asia #SAmerica #Australi #Africa
