Crazy ice pile up at our beach.
The ice on the lake is blowing this way and crumbling at the shoreline making these huge chunks.
Normally you have to go down a little hill to get to the beach. Right now it’s a wall of ice.

Bass guitar surgery
Turns out I live near a guitar tech who also helps grow and harvest legal medical cannabis…
Life is more interesting in the #nearnorth.
He’s fixing up my crappy bass guitar for me…

Something about lakes and bonfires….
We moved to the right spot.

Marnin!

I like where we live.

Moose on the loose!
Damn moose juvies running around looking for their own slice of territory.

A big motivator for me to get some yard cleanup done sooner rather than later is to do it before the black flies come out.

90% chance of 1.5cm/hour snow for the next 5 hours.
👀👀👀
1.5cm/hour for 5 hours.
The long-weekend snowmobilers are in heaven here.
I love seeing them parked at restaurants and stuff. Something I didn’t grow up with seeing.

Oh Sadie-girl. Get ready.
We are getting 20-40cm more tomorrow night!
Do they make snowshoes for dogs?

Heated stair mats
#nearnorth Tip:
They make heated mats to melt snow and ice for stairs.
Every morning when we run out to drop off the kids, we don’t have to worry about slippery stairs.
Tie them in with a smart outlet that knows when it’s snowing, and…

A frozen lake
State of the Lake. Ice fishing and snowmobiles
But not a single skijorer. (Dog pulling skier)
We are gonna change that one winter soon.

A trail winds through the deep snow in a mixed forest of hemlock, birch, and pine.
Mikisew Morning ❄️🌲
Photos don’t do justice to the beauty and quiet of the woods in winter. #NearNorth
Entrance sign with map of the Moose Mountain Trail
Caution sign to warn hikers of the steep cliff ahead
Sun rising over snowy conifers
Beauty morning in Almaguin Heights. First visit to the Moose Mountain Trail and it certainly won’t be our last! #NearNorth
I would love to do skijoring with our pup. I think we'd both love it.
... but I think I gotta make it weird and get snowblades or something instead of regular skis.

Garbage collection day was delayed because the one garbage truck in the village wasn’t working.
I honestly thought they were using it as a snow plow 🤣🤣🤣

The sun rising over a snow covered lake with clouds creeping in, threatening to overtake the bright blue sky
Blue skies and sparkling fresh snow at Mikisew #nearnorth
A little hike at Arrowhead Provincial Park, arguably the best @ontarioparks.bsky.social to visit in the winter. #nearnorth #hiking
Night
Good morning #stonerfam
Forgot to post this pic of “I got a spot”.
It’s on the frozen lake and it was very dark.
Let’s see what today brings.
#nearnorth
I hear it's raining in Toronto...
#nearnorth
I can tell when people have rented the airbnb a block away.
I can hear them from here.

Nice. Properly set up on the first try.
