No gables.. The cottage is square, 20' x 20', with a 4 sided roof
that peaks to a point in the middle.

We can get some wicked storms coming in off of Georgian Bay
since there's not much between me and the water to break the
wind, a few small trees that don't do much, and being on top of
a hill I still get hit pretty directly. The front is actually
mostly facing South though so the cold North winds hit the back
of the place with only 2 small windows and there are some tall
trees 60 ft or so behind me which maybe breaks it up a bit.

It seems to be getting warmer these days. There are still a few
cold nights shown in the long range, like Tuesday and Thursday
night this week, but it's easier to heat the place most days and
there should be a bigger change over the next couple of weeks most
likely..

I think we are given winter so we appreciate the rest of the
year more..   B)
