It's a funny time of year just north of Edmonton...........halfway between winter and spring. There's still plenty of snow (1' - 2') to go sledding but the gophers are coming up and sitting on top of it. I haven't seen/heard any geese yet but someone that I talked to yesterday out at Lac Ste Anne said he had. Looking at the weather forecast next weekend will be the last one for sledding/ice fishing. IMO spring will come in a couple of weeks up this way.
