Walkin' on Mars

Yep, walking in Sorels in 12 inches of show is what I'd like to think walking on a frozen planet must be like. Come to think of it, this part of this planet is frozen, so there you have it. I walked Grace to school this AM (-5 C) and then headed to work. I over dressed and worked up some sweat so I had to unzip a couple of layers as I went, and by the time I got there, I was pretty wet. I'd go easier on the wool and poly tomorrow, but it is supposed to hit -25C tonight. Maybe dress the same and see how it goes.
Tonight I put the trash and blue box out and did some shoveling around the fence gates so we can get out of the back yard. I also plugged in the block heater on the van. It's -21 now, and on winnipegweather.com the current conditions box says "Ice Crystals." Seriously.
Two local summaries of the recent snow:
"Well, we got a bit more than expected, eh?"
"There was bugger-all for visibility Tuesday morning!"
