Northern Saskatchewan 2012 - Weather




Had a lot of rain this year, but that is a good thing.  Better than forest fire.


Full moon always a beautiful sight.  This is the moon setting just before daylight.


I was back out to my vehicle on October 14, after a week of canoeing and portaging.  The temperature was consistently below 0C at night, and some days, with a bit of snow on the ground.  The lakes were starting to freeze.  I was a bit anxious about the weather, as if it stays below freezing for long enough all of a sudden a lake can have enough ice on it to prevent canoeing.  It would be a long walk on land skirting lakes, crossing streams and muskegs.  And then a long walk again when winter really set in to make it safe to walk on the ice to retrieve my cached gear.
