Brrrrrrrrrrrr

So it hit home again today as to how chilly the land of the Canuck can get. The summer weather had lowered our defences against the weather that makes you "brrrrrrrr" instead of talk. It was about minus 13 on the drive to work, the midday high hit the giddy heights of minus 5 and lucky old Banff had minus 23 at 8 o'clock this morning. Looks like the snow will stick around for a few more days yet then.
On the plus side, the snow machines were working overtime at COP (Calgary's downtown ski hill), they have to make it when they can now, as I imagine the temps will be up in the positive single digits next weekend!

I've no real winter shots to post, but imagine the next seven months will be nothing but photos incorporating snow, so here's the last summer photo for this year from a hike up in Kananaskis a few weeks back.

Looking forward to waxing the skis and board, and may well go and try to have a slide around this weekend. The bike is looking at rollers for the next few days (bloody daylight saving and icey roads have scuppered after work riding now).

Work is still work and we're clinging onto reality by the skin of our teeth (I'm sure working in an LD school rubs off on you).

Trusting that all is well across the globe (in both directions),

Happy camping,

S&S.
