Whelbourns in Canada

• Thursday 3 January 2008 - -29c Brrrrrr But Picture Postcard stuff

 

The temperature has dropped as they forecasted and it was about -20c today than add on (or take off) windchill and it feels like -29c. Now that does start to feel cold if you step out without some layers. ie more than just a coat on top of your normal daily clothes. Add a fleece or jumper and scarve, gloves, hat. I brought winter shoes that look like normal shoes but have some extra lining and a extra insulating layer in the sole too. No they are not platforms before you start about my height!

.

I came home around 5:15pm and had to take a photo for the blog to show how high the snow banks are now we have cleared the drive.  The house looked lovely and after the photo I chased around to get the lights turned off

 

Looks like a picture from a christmas card doesnt it. Notice the clear cold sky!

.

Perhaps tomorrow  I will load on another video clip similar to the previous so you can scan the whole scene to compare with the previous.

Must have taken quite some time to get your drive that clear - let's hope it doesn't snow again or you'll find yourself back to the beginning! The photo certainly "sets the scene".

I cannot claim all the credit and I have to admit to some assistance from our neighbour with his snow blower :~D

Well I am sitting in good old Brum in the UK the sky is dark and has been raining all day and night and cannot get out to play in the snow (you lucky thinh would far rather have your pretty picture)
Cannot wait to get back home to Toronto. I will have to remember your info on calories with snow shoes.
Happy 2008 and laugh til you drop
