the weather has been pretty warm, (if  you considered -5 Celcius warm which I do for this time of year) but the ground is froozen. The lakes are covered with ice but because of rain we received on November many lakes are unsafe but our properties are not under the lakes we're on land. The positive is that surveyors/drillers are out in full full force, this weather is perfect, beats -20 what we use to have up here this time of year in the past.
