hour here year. but not before the experts have checked that the ice will hold lately. but you want to preserve the ice is 50 centimeters thick so nothing's going to happen it only gets dodgy when the ice is 7 centimeters in the morning that the ice rescue service we don't have much work in winter if. you perceive it will we get busy in spring march april may my mrs didn't look bad because we've raised awareness there are now fewer accidents new used to be with those who were with all of. the information fly a woman's rate is don't jump or run for the chance andre is going to do any of that the only person in a harley here is mary ann from any event agency she's doing her rounds with the sniffer dog to ensure competitors don't smuggle in

a fish and then pretend they cool down. the tissues and that the more they want to mix but it's still a fuck up. i think and today is a rule abiding participant he'd never do anything like that before thought that it did you go see i do this for health reasons nothing is healthier than getting it inside out in the fresh air you use all your muscles when you're ice fishing the shoulders your back and your legs this is much better than a treadmill or a stationary bike in a gym you know we've just been lucky. up also look a small perching it could be a winning fish good luck it's a show horse ride the. smoke from the tim is of the paper factory bellows into the sky calm sets in among the participants ice fishing is 1st and foremost isp. john

exercise. i love that the refurbishment of kerry as world heritage site the wooden transfiguration chad is way behind churchill. but the process is complicated by. a frame of hundreds of steel structures and clamps secures the interior the old builders didn't even need nails. to move you. unload your tongue for a wood construction this is really a huge complex we have to make sure we copy the old construction technique and recreate it like it was originally. and then we use the same materials everything has to look the same. they've been dismantling its log walls

piece by piece like a large scale version of pick up sticks to it it is due to lose your fish this year we had to divide the church into 7 belts that we removed one after the other before reinstalling them once they had been restored. we're currently working on the 5th belt we've set it up here in the hall next door steps over the. ridge show. me the carpenter and conservation work by the construction skills that the anonymous monsters who left these towers to the world 300 years ago heat. the winds getting rougher and karen aliah in montreal it's bland the dry. away.

if you're just a few it's hard in downtown montreal because the people just walk everywhere nobody looks where they're going to be down the road delivery trucks and buses all over the place because we have to maneuver between them with our equipment so yeah fine just name a possible job but someone's got to do it click here so i'm going to the mall i learned to. judge. the snow is removed to special sites outside the city just get it out of the way. see t.v. news we've been silly talk a harsh or. good afternoon at montreal time in the morning snowstorm isn't making any headlines 92 years old it would have to be more severe for that says laurie

graham. she's a t.v. weather presenter in a city that regularly drowns in snow. less than 15 centimeters that this is just your typical winter day here in montreal it's once we get into 2030 centimeters of snow then it becomes interesting it becomes more of a news story montreal while 40 centimeters have been dumped on the forecast for montreal is now freezing rain followed by plane right through the rest of the day today enough we saw this storm coming in about a week ago so already a week ago we were warning people that it looked like there would be some significant snow fall coming into montreal on tuesday it's not uncommon for much ryall to see snowstorms with 15 centimeters it's not uncommon for us to see freezing rain we usually get about 10 episodes of freezing rain jury in the winter season. and every time it covers the winter forests with crystal's an hour's drive from the city we find the canada we see in picture books.

there. and that's where the in the realm of the red maple leaf is also the home of maple syrup the province of quebec produces more of it than any other place and no one sells a greater variety of maple products then stiff fine food chain in his farm shop so to be a real. course we have maple syrup. glass or plastic or metal bottles here we have made all butter we have maple chocolates gold nuggets sugared covered not people caring now they're going to build a new church here and maybe the only parts assented so soon. here

they're certainly different people. was unknown the maple syrup bottles and the maple syrup children's books the cook books and on the rules in the $300.00 c. 10 maple syrup speciality restaurant there is the friendly bedded face of p.f. o'shea the maple syrup king and stefan's father was the one who's done sing with the wolf light dog. i. learned a lot before let's go to south and order time round. no i wouldn't i would like to go to the south of the sun because because it's the real sees and hears wizards either call the the fire place or the. pierre is 70 and already knew as

odette is messed up some way his rival is cheering. up in the us of a. fight he's not on the podium this time. his father used to be a ski jumper himself he knows what the problem was his landing technique hasn't been perfected it was. the absolute upper to that it's a you have to concentrate better on landing you have to practice your technique constantly and also it doesn't matter how badly you jump you have to finish it cleanly the trick. did the but you have to work even harder not to get in a. tight he's not in the mood to listen any more he wants to be alone winning seems so easy losing however takes practice.

northern japan is another region that seen a lot less snow than usual. climate change or just coincidence it's enough a pretty pictures but not for records and it's enough for the children winter fun outside the racetrack in o.b. here though the kids are entertained so that the adults can gamble in peace and quiet. the locals love gambling casinos are banned here but sports betting is allowed.

a big celebration in the middle of winter. we throw beans at the evil spirits which drives them away. after that we'll be safe from bad surprises all year long you know what city. that's how it comes to pass that a horde of hairy demons mr ahmed tourists here playing the flute surprises the chinese guests enjoying the book thankful for. the. it would have been inconceivable in the past for the proud japanese demons to perform wild folk dances for vacationers from china but it would appear that nothing is as it was. nowadays they
