In my recollection, this January has been the coldest and snowiest one in many years. But the beauty of winter in the Kawarthas — even at minus 25 — is quite evident in our top photos for January.

From light pillars to sunsets and snowy owls, these photos once again prove that the Kawarthas are an amazing place in any season. Many thanks to the local photographers who tag us and allow us to share their photos.

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 Kawarthas 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 2022.
