Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
You know you are beginning to become acclimatized to Canada's weather when you are getting the t-shirts out in anticipation of the temperature climbing to above -20! 
Meanwhile bushfires are raging in my last place of residence (Melbourne). People think we were mad moving from Aus to Canada but I know which one I prefer.

-29, heatwave officially over. It was a nice break but left things a bit icey.

-35, the struggle continues. Saw the snow in Van and Lower Mainland on the news, that won't last so enjoy it while you can.

As Sheldon would point out "the roads are most slippery, when there's a thin coat of liquid that reduces the coefficient of friction to nearly zero, but not thick enough to introduces a new source of friction."

Exactly my problem. I can happily trudge through 5 cm of the stuff but this is just icky and slippery

Even the melt here has caused issues. A thin layer of snow on top of what must have been some frozen melt water caused me to do a fantastic windmill impression this morning
