Winter's has arrived...
After a mild month of November, we have had a huge reminder of what life is really like in the winter living in the northern hemisphere. The warnings began on Thursday afternoon and the snow started just after 8 am on Friday. It snowed all day Friday and Friday night. Road conditions were horrendous, little to no visibility - not to forget to mention blowing and drifting snow across roads and cars! We received about 20 cm of the white stuff and even bigger snow drifts! After the snow came the frigid temperatures, plummeting to the minus 30's and that is without the windchill. All you Canadians know what these temperatures can do to one's eye lashes and nose hairs -- frozen like icicles!! Calgary has quickly turned into a winter wonderland. From the warm comforts of our blazing fire and fleecy socks - everything really does look beautiful. That is until you venture out into the Arctic tundra!
