We have had a pretty good fall here, having very warm, above average temperatures off and on until the end of November. But winter has now arrived with full force. On Friday we had a snow storm that dumped close to a foot of snow. But that was minor compared to the cold front that moved in later that night. Temperatures have now been hovering around minus 30 degrees celcius, with windchills approaching minus 40. Which pretty much means everybody here is miserable and obsessing over the weather.
The worse news is that this is expected to last several weeks before we will get any respite. The temperature is not due to go above the freezing mark again until New Year's Day. I am sure there are many good things about living here, but at the moment I can't think of any. Instead, I am left to wonder why I voluntarily live in such a cold place....lol.
Actually weather like this, while it does tend to happen each winter, is not something that is constant. The snow comes and goes and it is likely we will have spring like temperatures in January. But for now, well it's just not a lot of fun. But it does make for some very nice pictures. A few shots taken by my brother and my partner this weekend. They were brave enough to go outside...
