On Saturday, Dec 12, we had two loons and 18 common goldeneyes drop by. They stayed pretty well all day. No ice on the lake. Had some thin patches develop on Sunday morning around the Island, but very scant and thin. Still no snow for the upcoming holiday residents at the lake. Record high temps last week in Montreal and in the Laurentians. Also watched a pine marten (between Sally's and our place) go fishing and wander along the shoreline.

Willie and I arrived yesterday (Dec 21) for the holidays. It started snowing as we drove in at about noon, and the light snow continued all day. Not much accumulation and today it is melting away quickly. There was a bit of ice on the lake, but it disappeared overnight. Montreal is bracing for 18C on Thursday, Christmas Eve, with temperatures dropping a bit for Christmas day. Better start dreaming of a green Christmas, so your dreams can come true.
