The Christmas spirit is alive and well at Lac des Roches as residents string lights and adorn their homes with festive decorations. Despite the current lack of snow and ice, there are colder temperatures and snow showers forecasted prior to the big day. Several residents upgraded their snow removal equipment and techniques for this winter, particularly due to the heavy snowfall we experienced last year. They may still be required as this is not the first green Christmas we have experienced in the last fifteen years, which – I must add – was immediately followed by several snow storms totalling almost a foot of snow. If we lack the typical winter weather, there are still plenty of fun activities to be enjoyed in our great outdoors with with friends and family. With no camp fire restrictions this time of year, yard clean-up and debris burning, cleverly disguised as a weiner roast followed by gooey smores, will not only keep children and grandchildren busy for several hours a day, but make a dent in the future work which would otherwise keep residents away from the excellent fishing we experience every Spring. Plan on an enjoyable holiday, no matter what the weather and you will not be disappointed!
