I'm looking forward to Friday/Sat. The warm crap is too humid. I like the full on sunshine with crisp dry air and the ice fishing is way better.
I'm sure it's a dry cold so you don't feel it.

Winterpeg, no?
I've dealt with -38 up north over the holidays, to it being around -4 here most days. For some reason my arthritis is KILLING me. lol.
Nothing odd here in Vancouver this is SOP for this time of year-I see Wednesday it's supposed to warm up to 8 degrees overnight something we saw very little of in the past but is more frequent now.
Oh Yeah it rained all day in Whistler today @ the base of the mountain anyway-I wasn't up top-too cold.
Winter is fully engaged here in Hinterland. It has snowed more days than not in the past couple of weeks but it is has been moist snow, often in fine crystal form and the accumulation is less than one would think. It is a dense pack though. The temps have been very mild for the most part. I was out shoveling late this afternoon just as dusk approached and needed only a light jacket to keep warm - oh and a woolen toque as their was a fine icy mist falling. Canim is the only lake in our area remaining unfrozen, but it is long and deep and needs sustained days of a good freeze to begin the process. A cougar is roaming the neighborhood but has not been a danger to human or pet so far. That is one gift the fresh snowfall gives us, the ability to track the animals.
Winter has been gentle with us ....so far.
I have you beat by 2C
-2C right now.
Did you know the going basic rate for having you snow shovelled is $5. $10 if the backyard walk, garage and alley need it.

To be fair I'd have to pay him $15. A solid hour of heavy work!If I paid a guy $5 for what I shovelled yesterday, I wouldn't find anyone in the Okanagan who would shovel my snow ever again-
Oh Balls.......I did enough shovelling yesterday to last me all year, but alas there is a similar dump on the way this afternoon.
I'm a perfectionist, no one can achieve the smooth edges like I can.!-

Get a scoop or a grain shovel. Drag the snow, don't lift it.
Snow is the gods' way of controlling the elderly male population.
Get a gas-powered leaf blower-the backpack type.

Bend the knees, scoop the snow, straighten the knees, heft and heave. I push to the edges, then bend, lift and heave. Get a pretty good work out doing things that way..........and no sore back.

Just exactly what I did half the morning.
