Photo Calendar of 41 months in Newfoundland, and counting.
I will add one photo to this page for every month I’ve lived in Newfoundland, creating a visual record of this blog’s theme:
Living in Newfoundland
April 2012 - Deadman's Bay Path
Icebergs were the big story of April 2012, many large tabular bergs littered the east coast and I hiked out to see all of them. On the trail most of the snow melted and the ponds thawed. In the middle of April a spell of unseasonably warm weather made everybody break out in summer clothing, but by the end of the month temperatures were low again, and we even had some snow.
March 2012 - Father Troy's Trail
I was absent for the first half of March 2012, but I gather it was a rather mild continuation of February. The second half of the month was filled with ice in the form of freezing rain, frozen compacted snow on the trail, and most notably sea ice and icebergs.
February 2012 - Cape St. Francis highway
February brought the exact same faltering winter as January did. Snow, rain, snow, rain, snow, etc. My winter hiking continued as usual, I even bought some snowshoes to make extra use of the good days. On the coast I saw many seals basking in the sun, they have become my regular lunch companions.
January 2012 - Quidi Vidi
January 2012 gave us lots of snow, and washed it all away again with rain. Every week the same scenario played out, deep snow with great weather, then fog and rain to clear the roads and hills of their wintry goodness. I explored many trails on the glorious winter days, blue skies and deep snow combined with temperatures well below zero made these hikes exciting and invigorating.
December 2011 - St. John's
This year’s December brought an indecisive winter, we were able to enjoy a white Christmas but the snow soon melted and there was none left by the time it was New Year’s eve. As you can see here, the Cabot Tower star looks a bit out of place in this mild weather.
