I am trying to be at the field on Friday, Dec 18 from about 1 pm. Andy and Michael are game as well.
Frank
Hopefully I can make it. :P
I look at the previous photos, it seems everyone are flying off with floats or skid. I guess the runway is not capable to take off with wheels.
Hand launch.* ;D

Hi
@Oscar ,
Pilots were using a mix of floats, skis and wheels on Tues Dec 15 (see Michael's photos - https://temac.ca/smf/index.php?topic=7775.msg52471#msg52471). There was enough snow on the grass to use floats or skis. and the runway was relatively clear of snow and ice (see attached photo below).
Andy
Hi Frank. The weather looks good for tomorrow, so I will try and join you guys. Can you bring that clear monocote? I covered the Beaver fuse and it is ready for windows.
Rob,
No problem. Will bring it.
F.
Thank you Andy. And thank you Frank for the suggestion. :D
This afternoon: cold, but not too cold, sunny and low winds.
There was hardly any snow yesterday; certainly not enough for taking off with floats.
It's wheels for today (I think).

Thanks for the heads up
@Michael See you this afternoon.
Andy
Amazing day.
Not too cold, almost no wind, and bright blue sky.
There was non-stop flying all afternoon, including jets and warbirds.
Today I saw at the field: Oscar, Kenny, Loy, Jim, Frank, Andy, Glenn, Rob, David, Greg H, and ??? Did I forget anyone?
What a wonderful day. Finally, all 3 Widgeon come together and flew in formation.

Great video, Oscar!
I hope you like it Michael. :)
For others who dont know how to download it from Google Drive, I have another video that use a non copyright music. (I must admit, the 'Come Together' is much better. :P )
Enjoy

@Andy Hoffer - Thats the mask I was talking about. ;D
Great flying, Oscar... excellent video... thanks.
Beautiful video
@Oscar. Perfect time of day with nice contrasty lighting and a blue sky. Good job of following the "formation".
