Single Guy Cooking
On Saturday of this past week I took a quick drive out to Charlie Lake in attempt to capture some of the fresh snow. While I got over 100 shots of the snow and frozen lake, I got this one of a friend’s cabin. It has been tone-mapped to give it that HDR appearance.
Well I guess spring has sprung. As I drove home this evening it started to snow.
This is disappointing because I really wanted to get my bike. But I think it will be warm enough tomorrow that will be melted.
Such a buzz kill really, after such a nice day today I really didn’t want to see the snow.
I can’t say I really remember the last time I saw snow coming down so much so fast. It is as if there is a curtain of white fluffy stuff outside and I can barely see my neighbours across the street.
When I got back to Fort St John the other day it was beautiful. The sun was shining and it was warm. The other thing I noticed was how much snow had disappeared in the week I had been gone. 10 foot snow piles where virtually nothing.
The temperature at 7:30am is already hoovering around 0, so I don’t think this snow will stay snow much longer before it turns to rain. I am a little concerned though, judging by the forecast we may be getting even more snow at the end of this week.
I must say I’m not sure if I rather all this snow of the -27 and sunshine Yellowknife is receiving today.
Okay this is my bobcat rant. I don’t know why, but for some reason the guy who operates the Bobcat at the apartment I live in seems to only use it at nine o’clock in the evening. I don’t know why, I think he’s crazy. Would it not make sense to do it during the day when most of the vehicles are not here. He has been doing it consistently for about four days now. I understand there is lots of snow to clear, but seriously please dude why don’t you do it during the day.
I am highly sensitive to both light and noise and you are making a lot of it. Noise not light. This also goes to diesel truck drivers, who think it is necessary to idle their vehicle during the zero temperatures we have.
Oh and back to the guy who’s driving the Bobcat. For some reason the parking lot is getting smaller and smaller, because you keep piling the snow in the middle of it. I don’t know if it takes a genius to figure out the use poster put snow at the side of the parking lot, not in the center where people are supposed to drive.
I apologize to all other Bobcat drivers, I’m sure you do a wonderful job. Thank you for your hard work, but this late night Bobcating needs to stop.

Well with spring here, or at least I thought it was, comes the joys of pulling, heaving, and prepping all the toys and gear we use through out the summer.
Getting there
For me this meant digging out my camper. I suppose I could have left it until the snow had completely gone but considering it might have been sitting on a frozen swap I wasn’t going to risk having it transform into a submarine. The digging actually went much easier than I anticipated. The pile, which was a mere 4 feet high, was all packed snow so I was able to use my snow block method to move it……………….[Read More]
