Another glorious day to enjoy the cold and snow. Langara Golf Course today.
Beautiful photos!
Did you make par?
My dad was an avid golfer and we used to joke he only needed a light-up ball and he would play year round.

Looks like strait effect for you.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Steveston. First time making a skating rink. But how do I make the ice smooth!
Cool!!!! That is great! Can't help you on getting it smooth but love that you did this.
Surprisingly at -6.7 some of the puddles in the road are still water.

Love the cold bluish light one gets at this hour when the ground is snow-covered.

Not out of nowhere....that's actually my snow, it's blowing away here, sustained 35-40 km/h winds.
Just hoping my furnace keeps up
Stay warm! I heat with wood but the floor (unheated basement) is getting pretty cool. Only how many more days of this?

I'd say the time it took to walk the course was about par.
Also, I totally would do that if it weren't for the fact that I'd manage to lose the light up ball anyway.
2025-26 season stats:
Climo

GFS
Season total: 0.5 cm and TWO traces!

Hot water and a swifter sweeper. Or microfibre cloth wrapped around the swifter.
That’s what my brother does up in summerland.
