Not a lot new ,Greg Smith and I went to town by Quad on Tuesday,was -8 sunny in morning very good travelling. But on way home by 2 pm the snowbanks softened enough would not support quad and water underneath is 16" deep. The ice road into Dorian has several large holes on one side and other side has double ice, only way around is to jump the snow bank. I was stuck in snow bank at Dorian and Greg was stuck in bank at Queer. A contractor working at Red Deer Isand came by on a sled and I used him as anchor and winched myself out. Greg managed to get himself unstuck. The ice south side of FN Portage is also full holes. Not safe for quad travel anymore. Still okay to run snowmobile.
Strawberry Portage has deep water and holes on North side, people are driving vehicles up to Strawberry and unloading snowmobile from there. Still too much snow on Island to drive quad around paths. There is a flock of 100 geese on the grass/open water French Narrows,quite the noise when a snowmobile goes by and they take flight. Also saw 2 robins in back yard. Sea gulls are back,they say once they arrive there is still 3 more snowfalls, Warroad just said 3" tonight. And long range has more snow, with no double digits in forecast
