Sympathy?

 Come on lake.  Don't hide the unknown depth of your slush!  Please!

Oh, well, lucky there is a partner who can come with a shovel and ease the machine out of the misery.

The lake is a gigantic 'fly trap' waiting for suckers! (like me, eh!) Mixed metaphor works well, eh.

New road and lake

It is difficult on the lake for snowmobiles.  Snow is 'crazy deep' and a layer of slush below the snow means studs on the track needed for assistance.  Several machines had problems getting off the lake on the weekend.

Road work on 'Riffles Road' which ended last fall with lots of loads of gravel heading to the north peninsula, has started again but through '2 gates logging road' as seen in the photo.

Waiting for maple sap to run

Quite deep snow in the bush.  A small operation being prepared for boiling.

Airplane on skis

 Plane came from the north, seemed to land on the snow at the southern end, took off and passed by the island heading north again.  Deep snow on the lake, about a foot deep.  Pilot waved.
