You couldn't have scripted a better afternoon for Family Day Monday.

A balmy -3 degrees to go with light snowfall set the scene for a true winter wonderland as many families got out to celebrate the holiday.

The Carlton Trail Ski Club was a popular venue with 200 people venturing out to the Dixon site to take part in skiing, sledding, sleigh rides and a hot dog roast.

In Humboldt, the Uniplex invited swimmers and skaters to use the pool and arena for leisure activities. Elsewhere, it was a normal winter day of curling, ice fishing and snowmobiling.
