    Below is a link for viewing current weather radar images as detected by a series of doppler radars across the provice. Once the image has loaded, click on the blue play button.

Weather Radar - Ontario

        Images for the past hour and a half will give you a sense of the speed and direction of the clouds. This site is very effective for predicting imminent storms, rain showers or snow storms. Generally, you will only see the denser, moisture bearing clouds ... light clouds and overcast sky do not show up on the radar.

      Satellite imagery will give you an idea of what an entire storm system is doing, where it is headed and how soon. Dark orange and red patches pack all of the power of the storm. To view satellite imagery, select "Satellite Imagery" on the left side of the page, then select the first "medium" image under "GOES-east"

BEAVERS IN WINTER
(Kenora - Feb, 2008)
   While the furry Beavers may sleep through the winter, the human kind are playing in the snow. The 2nd Kenora Beaver Colony and their Dads spend Feb 2nd and 3rd on Scout Island. They pulled each other in dog sleds on the ice, cooked over a fire, slid down snowy banks to the lake, went snowshoeing on the trails and ice fished.

2nd Kenora Beavers ice fishing
   While ice fishing, they landed one pike and one perch. Not enough for supper but no one seemed to care. The weather was perfect, the day full of fun. All were snuggled into their sleeping bags and sound asleep early into the night, dreaming of next day adventures.
