That makes our current weather an event of a lifetime.
We have temperatures of minus 20 Celsius. We have a wind chill factor of minus 35. We have warnings of exposed skin freezing within minutes. Every road in 4 counties is closed. On the radio the list of closures was so long the announcer took a break (probably a bathroom break) and directed listeners to get the rest of the list from the website. The closure list included many firsts for my ears: The mall, a funeral home with a funeral cancelled (that makes for a great family story) Canadian Tire, hospitals, schools and stores.
What we do have, amazingly enough, is hydro. Not once over this long season of storms have we lost hydro. And so, we are warm. Today, I am baking
and weather watching.
Not a bad day for me at all. For all others, stay warm.

It's not just in Canada! We had a blizzard on Sunday (I'm in north central Indiana, US) and got over a foot of snow. We had a low of negative 17 degrees F on Monday--currently we're at negative 3. Everything has been closed here since Sunday-schools, churches, businesses, etc. Our roads are still only cleared for emergency vehicles only. Honestly, I'm sort of loving it. Plenty of food in the house and heat and water. I love being able to just potter about without anyone asking me to take them anywhere! Enjoy your day.--Ann
I'm in New England and blizzards are upon us often. Right before the weekend we had about a foot. I love that weather, but shoveling it is not so pleasant. Wind chill today is way below zero F. But I prefer that to 95 F and humid in August!!!
Love the blog. I don;t comment all the time, but I visit via RSS feed.
