Ice bridge
Usually at this time of year there is a road on the ice across Lac des deux Montagnes (Lake of two mountains). The 'road' goes from Hudson to Oka which is a Native American reserve. The distance is about two kilometres and they plough all the snow off the ice and you just drive on it. However, it hasn't been cold enough so it's not open yet, and maybe won't open at all. Having said that there were cars all over the ice, and huts, where people were ice fishing. The picture was taken a Vaudreuil Sur le Lac just down the road from Hudson. Although the weather hasn't been that cold, mostly just below zero, it has been a record year for snow. Although, it is supposed to be -25 C tonight.
Yesterday I went on the skidoo with Tom but it conked out and now it is stuck in the woods about a Kilometere from his house. We had to walk back through knee deep snow, very hard going. We returned with snow shoes at night but it needs daylight so that we can strip the carb down properly. It will have to wait until the weekend, but it's pretty safe where it is. I just hope it doesn't snow too much or we will have a lot of digging to do!
So far work is going very well and I haven't had a moment to spare as jobs keep coming in all the time. I am definitely glad that I left Trent. What a waste of time that place is commercially!
