Brrrrrr..

      We've had a very cold and snowy few days of weather. On Nov. 25 heavy snow began. The temperature dropped to minus 20 C (minus 4 F). On Nov. 26 we had more heavy snow. We had between 20 and 30 cm (8 - 12 in) of snow. As the snow moved out cold Arctic air was pulled down so we had minus 30 C( minus 21 F). Nov 27 and today have just been dam cold.

      I finally got out today to get a few photos. It was icy on the fingers. One has to keep the camera inside your coat so that batteries don't die in the camera.

My old friend with a snowy top

Long November shadow

Ruts in the snow

I like my spruce trees with snow on them

More shadow and ruts in the snow.

Some people have shoveled a lot of snow

And this car carries a heavy load of snow

  6. The cold woke me up early. I went fishing on Friday and it had opened the small lake up with the warm.

  7. That is really cold overthere -30C , I have never experienced that. We have come now to 2 C with an eastern wind, which makes it feel rather cold (for us).

  9. Nice winter shots! It certainly looks like winter where you are! It hasn't really found us yet, but I'm sure it's on its way! You can't escape winter in Canada.

  10. Even though it's a nuisance that snow is really beautiful to look at. I have learned what you mean about the batteries in the camera. I haven't looked to see if they recovered at all. :-)
