January is finally over. Yes it is. I can’t recall a January where so many lamented the length of that month. But now we can step back and enjoy what January brought us on our Instagram, including great conditions for building a mega snowbear, scenic snow scenes, misty mornings, and more.
Do you want to get on our top photographers list? All you need is an Insta account and to tag us using our hashtag #kawarthanow when posting your photo.
We share photos from across our readership area, which is the five-county area surrounding Peterborough which includes Peterborough, Northumberland, City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Hastings (we sneak in the occasional Algonquin Park picture as well, particularly if it’s by a Kawartha photographer).
To see our daily shares of photos, follow us on Instagram @kawarthanow and check out our feed’s highlight reels for recaps of every month in 2020.

This polar bear made of snow (“snowlar bear”) was created by Jon Kolodziej @onkolodziej and Dana Beren Watts @danaberenwatts outside their home on George Street in downtown Peterborough. After kawarthaNOW shared these photos on social media, the snowlar bear went viral, resulting in Dana Beren Watts being interviewed by CBC Radio’s Ontario Morning host Wei Chen.
