Yes this morning she was hovering at the -20 C mark and is threating to drop to -32 by Saturday, great way to bring in spring. Our local spring carnival starts Friday . The famous "Caribou Carnival." The carnival was at one point a very big deal in Yellowknife and was a much larger affair. Unfortunately the Carinval is not what it used to be and many of the Northern events are missing.

There will be fireworks again on Friday evening and I will drop by and give Kate and John a hand to s

This evening at 18:00 Hrs. we were still T4C, great, After the long dark days of winter the almost 12 hours of daylight we are getting is grand. I hope it just gets better all the time long warm days are what I would love to see they reek havoc on the ice. Every inch that melts brings us closer to getting wet. "Cry Spring and unleash the hounds of melt."

Last evenings showing of "Metal Flakes, Squirt boating in West Virginia" was a small affair but fun. The film is 86 minutes long and I can see it becoming dull unless your are squirt and white water participant. Still the folks said they found it intersting and different and were quite surprised when they found out I had a squirt here.

After the showing, yesterday being International Kidney Day, Naomi, Patrick and myself took our kidneys out for supper at Boston Pizza. Patricks home th

Unfortunately this was our only course and we hope to make it work for everyone.

Yes the spammers for cheap drugs are attacking playak and it is unfortunate indeed. I have tried contacting the site they represent and of course their security code for the e-mail is never right but it also never changes making it hard to each the company. I will continue to delete their garbage ads and recommend that you never buy anything from any of their postings, Greg

New defences are in place thanks to uy the lizard and we hae stemmed the tide for now great.

The continued bombardment of cheap drugs for sale is getting boring. This is a paddling site for those that wish to discuss paddling not peddling of cheap drugs. As a site adminstrator I will continue to block every and suspend every drug peddling blogpost. I live where is frozen more tha half the year and come her to talk and read about water sports. Your crap totally spoils the visits of most the members.

Yellowknife is basking in sunshine and that is great. Some folks aren't as happy as they did cancel some snowmobile races. Unfortunate for the racers who were looking forward to the seasons opening race in Ft. Chippewan. Yellowknife races are still scheduled as far as I know and it should cool off in time for that to happen. I personally don't race but look forward to open water instead and if it is early fine with me. Cheers, Greg

For many that may seem the normal thing, but in Yellowknife we usually don't see this till late April or early May. I realize for some it may shorten their seaonal employment but I am not one of these and will gladly bask in the warmth all day.

Spring is usually when we have our snowmobile races and the first races of the season have cancelled due to warm weather making conditions unsuitable for racing. The cold is bound to return but in the meantim

The weather in Yellowknife has been wonderful the past few weeks . We re at least 5 or more degrees above average for the month I am sure. Next week the are predicting -2 C and for us that is great. Rumor has it that it will last up to two weeks we could go into shock.

I have switched out my computer chair for a Pilates ball and find it to be much more comfortable. I also have great fun watching the video and trying to imitate the moves of the kayak

The last for days in Yellowknife have been way above the seasonal norm and have us dreaming of open water. I of course know that there is 5 feet of ice over the lake and all the rivers are frozen solid.The only open water around here is on Jackfish lake where they draw water for cooling the generating plant. The temperatures are warm enought hat I anm tempted to haul a yak out there and give it a go. There is about a 15 meter hole and the power corp would probably frown upon me rolling away in t… Continue
