The month of December here was just one long cold spell. It can happen that we get a month to 6 weeks of very cold weather with no breaks. Our highs were minus 20 to 22 C. Lows were towards minus 30C. Usually you don't get much snow during a cold spell but we had snow. This was during my recovery from surgery so the poor guy who shovelled my snow had lots of work. He volunteered to shovel my snow and would not take any money for it.
In 1969 we had a major cold spell. In the school I taught in ,there were quite a few rookies and they had old cars. As the cold spell continued, one by one the old cars wouldn't start. I picked up a car load of people and then my car wouldn't start and we were all walking.
So just after Christmas it was very frosty but not hoar frost. So I didn't get the white on these spruce trees but I'll show them to you any way.
So early January things have warmed up. For the last two days our high has been plus 3C. Today, I did a 2 km walk.
