Mmmmm...I see Southern Alberta went down to -50C last night (-43 without the wind chill).

I'm bettin' you finally started wearing a jacket.

That is colder than a mother-in-law's kiss!

We always knew when my mother-in-law dropped by the house...the furnace kicked in, and the mice started throwing themselves in the traps.

The problem here in the Dallas area is Ice. Along with the fact the cities are not experienced nor prepared to clear roads and keep power lines safe. I just measured the ice layer in my front yard at 6 1/1 inches!! That folks is a lot of Ice in any area of the country. Low temps can be managed and dealt with and are generally not problem when they occur here. Heavy Icing or snow is entirely different. I am aware in other parts of the country how winter happens - but in general they are prepared to deal with it.

Yep, even my Huskies sleep facing south these nights.

A few years ago I flew to Calgary, then rented a car and had a wonderful ride through the Rockies.
From many points of view it was one of the best holidays in my life and I sure am glad to have those memories.


Banff (lovely place, but never seen so many mosquitos...)


Lake Moraine (I still remember all the signs that warned about grizzly bears)

Our Banff (Scotland) mosquitoes are Highland Midges (Culicoides impunctatus) and they eat Bears smile

We're still going below 0 at night and the highs are around 15 to 20 in the afternoon. I see the sun finally but with an inversion it stays cold.

About 2 inches of snow on the patio and coming down hard right now - sure glad the bar in the family room is fully stocked. Gonna be one of those days where nothing more than watching football is going to be accomplished - but that's OK. Some days are like that! wink

Go Ravens,

Gary cool
