Wentworth

On Thanksgiving weekend Mark and I went with my parents to "Ski Wentworth", one of the few places in Nova Scotia to go downhill skiing. At least nobody's calling it a mountain.


It's not ski season yet, but the famous fall colours are here and you're allowed to go up the chair lift and hike back down. The views were really nice. We noticed that lots of people were there with mountain bikes - that would be lots of fun too, assuming you don't fall off the chair lift while wrestling with your bike.



I was a bit worried about my mom getting near a chair lift, but she made it.


That was a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say it's getting COLD here lately. Last time I checked, there was snow in the forecast for tomorrow. We've had to trade our fall jackets for warmer gear and there's been heavy frost most nights that doesn't melt until mid-morning. Arlo the wonder-dog is perfectly happy with the changing weather, but poor shrimpy Oliver is IN FOR IT once the real cold weather hits. He has no idea.

No snow!

If NS gets snow before Manitoba, then the only conclusion that we can reach is that climate change is REAL!
