While Muskoka has always been known to have a lot of snow, it is very rare to get such a large amount at one time. Last week Muskoka shut down. Roads were unsafe, cars were snowed in, power was out. Everyone stayed home.
With this storm, Huntsville broke records by getting at least 80cm in some places.
Bracebridge was hammered with even more snow. The snow started Wednesday and continued through the weekend. Snow was piled over a metre high. We have passed the average December snowfall of 72cm. Muskoka turned into a winter wonderland.
Power was out all over Bracebridge and both the Town of Bracebridge and the Town of Huntsville declared Snow Emergencies.
Snow plows worked overtime, trying to get the roads cleared. In some areas, regular pick-up trucks with plows were doing the side roads. It took almost a week to get the roads properly plowed.
Looks like this will be a great winter for everyone that loves snow. The ski hills are ready and the snowmobile trails are being prepared. Lake of Bays froze overnight. If we’re lucky, the temperature will stay down and we’ll be able to skate on the lakes early in the new year.
Another white Christmas in Muskoka!
I hope everyone has a great holiday and a happy new year.
