the winter landscape
Friday
February 1, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As the snow piles grow the scenes that seem familiar are changed as mountains of the stuff seem to blind us from buildings and the surrounding area. Even the structures themselves change as snow hides and masks them as we know them.

Changes in Tisdale
Thursday

The Greenwater report
Monday
January 21, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Gerald is not happy with Environment Canada's love affair with wind chill numbers and he was less than enthusiastic about a recent visit to the Mendel Art Gallery. To make matters worse he is packing for a bus tour of the US and that always puts him in a bad mood.
January cold snap
Friday
January 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It has been a mild winter so far this season so the -30º this morning with its stiff north wind felt appallingly cold. But the facts of the matter are clear each day we get just a bit more sunlight as we head toward late winter and in a short while spring once more.
Wind country
Wednesday
January 16, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

First major storm of the year
Tuesday
January 15, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Though today's storm was expected to track to the south of us it is mid January and it is typical of this time for storms like this to pay a visit. White out conditions with snow and blowing snow. Fortunately the temperature is in the teens and the storm is expected to move through the area quite quickly.
The Green Monster
Monday
January 14, 2008

Saskatchewan labour laws one sided
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Henry Neufeld

Monday
January 14, 2008

Grain blocks rolling
Friday
January 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: There is a lot of valuable grain in Saskatchewan's terminals and its time to move some of it to market even with continued expected good prices all is not sweetness and light in the marketplace.
