Ice Storm 2013

[Marc Montgomery]

With concern over damage seen in Toronto on the news, and throughout southern Ontario...I had to check on the secret hideout along the Rideau. Although lots of broken branches of trees along the 401..and some areas of massive forest damage..fortunately little damage at the hideout....and thankfully nothing fell on the plastic garages where some old green stuff is sleeping for the winter.

Skating which had been unbelievably magnificent prior to the first major snow dump of a couple weeks ago,(although no desire to skate for the kilometers of the lake system available) was down to acceptable due to the ice storm.
Note, with no water due to winter shutdown- using the outhouse was required..and at those temps was interesting...lowest was -30 early friday am.
