Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

More ice photos!

Unbelievable - and that's not including the snow we got today (it has been dumping all day) or the large amount of snow forecast for tomorrow...it's warming up though - this weekend we are expecting a heatwave at 33F! The majority of the snow fell in January, but here's hoping for more in February and March!


Here are the icicles hanging off the Ice Bar and Restaurant where I work a couple of days a week. The snow is pretty deep too!











Last week there was an ice carving competition - here is my favourite to date - a fish catching a dragonfly.
